An Che (The Pier).
Built in 1903 by the Congested Districts Board, a government body established to develop the west of Ireland.

Ecclestical sites (An Baile Thiar)

Round Tower.
Built in the 6th or 7th century, it protected monks from Viking and pirate raids. St Colmcille's Bell hung in the tower until the 18th century, when the cornice was damaged by lightning.

Tau Cross (12th century).
Its unusual 'T' shape suggests early sea-faring links with the Coptic Christians of Egypt.

An tSean-Reilig (The OId Graveyard).
Believed to be the site of an Teampall Buf, the original church in St Colmcille's 6th century monastery.

Ulai Eoin Baiste (St John's Altar).
One of seven small oratories or shrines associated with the monastery. Mass used to be celebrated in this oratory before the island chapel was built in 1857.

Moirsheisear (Grave of the Seven).
This oratory commemorates seven people who were found dead in a currish that washed ashore. The clay from the grave is believed to be sacred and is used to protect seafarers and to keep ruts away from ships.

Ulai Bhride (Oratory of St Brigid).
A small stone altar with some Holy Water fonts. A stone chalice, believed to have been used by Colmcille, was kept here. The chalice is now in the National Museum.

Fan-shaped infield.
A rare surviving example of a 'clachan and rundale' field system, dating from the 17th century.

19th-century cottages.

Cloch Arclai.
A distinctive rock near the lighthouse, it was visited as part of An Turas Mor a pilgrimage route around the island. The rock is said to have been the pedestal for a Cursing Stone.

The lighthouse.
Designed by George Halpin and built between 1828-32. It was manned until 1990 when it was automated.

Reilig Ghallda (Foreigners' Graveyard).
Buried here are eight of the crew from HMS Wasp which sank west of the lighthouse in 1884 with the loss of 52 lives.

Derek Hill's Hut.
Derek Hill stayed and worked in this small building.

Mac Gearra's Rock.
According to local legend, a man named Mac Gearra met St Colmcille one Sunday, a day on which fishing was not allowed. Colmcille asked him if he had any fish and Mac Gearra lied and said he had none. Colmcille turned him to stone and here he remains, forever climbing Mearnaid with his bag of fish on his back.

World War II torpedo.
Washed ashore and defused, it was later erected midway between An Baile Thiar and An Baile Thoir.

An Portach (The Bog).
Illicit distillation of poitin whiskey was an important source of income in the 19th century. Remote Toraigh was an ideal location for this industry. One consequence of poitin making was the exhaustion of Toraigh's peat bogs by the early 20th century.

Leac na Leannan (Wishing Stone).
This rock, at the top of the Dun, juts out from the cliff edge, 90m above the sea. A wish is granted to a person who succeeds in throwing three stones onto it. Leac na Leannan is extremely dangerous and visitors are advised against approaching it.

Dun Bhaloir (Balor's Fort).
Early Iron Age promontory fort and natural fortress. Remains include defensive embankments and hut-sites (the 'Diarmuid and Grainnes').

Cloch an Chu (Rock of the Hound).
After Colmcille first set foot on Toraigh, the king Oilill's venomous dog leaped into the sea to escape him. A rock that it split with its tail can still be seen here above Scoilt an Ghlasain.

Art Gallery.
Toraigh is famous for its school of painters, known as the "primitives," who were encouraged by the renowned artist, the late Derek Hill, who first visited Toraigh in 1956 to paint the island and its people. The work of the island artists is exhibited in Gailearai Dixon.

An Scoil (The School).
The school was built in An Baile Thiar in 1847.

Teach an Phobail (St Colmcille's Chapel).
Built in 1857 to a design by EW Goodwin, an English architect. The stained-glass windows by Patrick Pollen were presented to the islanders by artist Derek Hill.
