Tour Scotland Photograph Insh Church and Cemetery Aviemore Cairngorms
Tour Scotland photograph of Insh Church and cemetery near, Aviemore, Scotland. Alvie and Insh Parish Church of Scotland is located in Kincraig close to Aviemore in Cairngorms National Park. Insh Church, is situated in a beautiful setting, high up, at the edge of Loch Insh. Although there are no written records in the church, prior to 1838, it is known that the church was extensively renovated in 1790. Around the same time, Thomas Telford designed two Manse houses. One for Insh Church and the other for Rothiemurchus. The manse for Insh church is now Insh Guest House, a new manse for Insh Church having being built at Alvie in 1810. Insh church was in a state of constant repair from the time of the renovations, and in 1861 an appeal was made to Sir George MacPherson-Grant for help. The appeal stated that the church was in a deplorable condition, and that it was also some distance away from the crofting community in Insh village.
