Tour Scotland Photograph Gargoyle Dalserf


Tour Scotland photograph of a Gargoyle in Dalserf, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. During the 12th century, when gargoyles appeared in Europe, the Roman Catholic Church was growing stronger and converting many new people. Most of the population at this time were illiterate, and therefore images were very important to convey ideas. Many early gargoyles depicted some version of a dragon, especially in France.
