Southend, Kintyre
Southend is a small village on the southern coast of the Kintyre Peninsula, Argyll, Scotland.
The village is located around a bay, which at one end has a rocky promintory called Dunaverty, where a fort was located. It is reputed that enemies were thrown from the cliffs around the seaward side to their death below.
The village is also reputed to be the location where Saint Columba first set foot in Scotland. On a rock near the village are footprints called Columba's Footprints where it is claimed he first preached on Scottish Soil.
