Old Photograph St Peters Old Parish Kirk Scotland

Old photograph of St Peters Old Parish Kirk, Duffus, Moray, Scotland. This, now ruined, Scottish church was in existence in 1226, though the porch on the south side was built in 1524. The graveyard was formerly surrounded by a path made by a party of Cromwell's Ironsides. The Ironsides were troopers in the Parliamentarian cavalry formed by English political leader Oliver Cromwell in the 17th century, during the English Civil War. The name came from " Old Ironsides ", one of Cromwell's nicknames.
