Old Photograph Symington Church Scotland

Old photograph of Symington Church, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. This Scottish Parish Church was founded in the 12th Century by Simon Loccard and is the oldest functioning church in Ayrshire. It belonged to the Trinitarian Monastery at Fail, just outside Tarbolton. The Church was restored in the 18th Century and again in 1919. This restoration by P. MacGregor Chalmers revealed that the earlier alterations of 1797 had covered up some fine architectural features, including the open work timber scissorbeam roof.
