Carinish, on North Uist, of Scotland, United Kingdom, is known for the Carinish Stone Circle and the Trinity Temple.

Carnish Stone Circle

Carinish Stone Circle is not in a good condition - it has a main road running almost through the middle of it. About fifty metres to the north, a neolithic settlement was found.

The Trinity Temple

Trinity Temple or Teampull na Trionad are the ruins of a 13th century church. It was thought to have been founded by Beathag, the daughter of the warrior Somerled. After being rebuilt Ami Nic Ruari, wife of John, Lord of the Isles, it was enlarged in the 16th century, and restored in the 19th century. Admission is free and it's open at all times.

Carinish also contains the modern Carinish Inn, a landmark hotel in North Uist.
