Old photograph of Forest of Birse Kirk in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish church or chapel was built in the early 1890s to act as a church and school for the remote and sparsely populated community. It replaced a late 18th century church built by local heritors. A small ruin close to the church was the school teacher's house, but this was abandoned in the 1890s and the church ceased to be a school in 1933. The church is still in use today for fairly regular services.
