Old Photograph St Andrew's Church Tongue Scotland
Old photograph of St Andrew's Church in Tongue, Northern Sutherland, Scotland. This Scottish church was rebuilt by Donald Mackay, Master of Reay, in 1680 following the Reay family's conversion to Protestantism. The site was that of the ancient Celtic and latterly Roman Catholic Church, St Peter's Chapel. During a renovation in 1729 a vault was built covering the graves of earlier members of the MacKay family. Lord Reay, of Reay in the County of Caithness, is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. Lord Reay is the hereditary Clan Chief of Clan Mackay, whose lands in Strathnaver and north west Sutherland were known as the Reay Country. The land was sold to the Earls of Sutherland in the 18th century.
