About Skarð á Skarðsströnd
„Við Skarð er kennd Skarðsbók, sem á er rituð Jónsbók, lögbók Íslendinga frá árinu 1281. Á Skarði bjó Björn Þorleifsson hirðstjóri, sem drepinn var af enskum verslunarmönnum árið 1467 á Rifi á Snæfellsnesi. Ekkja hans, Ólöf ríka Loftsdóttir, safnaði liði til að hefna manns síns. Lét hún drepa marga Englendinga, en aðra tók hún til fanga og hneppti í þrælkunarvinnu. Voru þeir meðal annars látnir gera steinstétt mikla úr hellum að Skarðskirkju og sjást enn merki hennar.“
