Old Photographs Spott Scotland
Old photograph of Spott church located two miles South of Dunbar, Scotland. The origins of this Scottish church are rather vague, but it is certain there was a church here before the Reformation, when Spott Kirk was a prebendary of the Collegiate Church of Dunbar. Major repairs were carried out on the church in 1790 and again the following century giving its present cruciform shape. One arm of the church is an ancient burial vault. In 1570 the minister, John Kelloe, hanged his wife in the manse before delivering " a more than usually eloquent sermon ". He was executed on October 4th at Edinburgh at the Gallow Lee on Leith Walk, Edinburgh, for the crime.
