Old Photograph St Columba’s Church Boat Of Garten Scotland
Old photograph of St Columba’s Church in Boat of Garten in Badenoch And Strathspey, Scotland. This Scottish church was built in the summer of 1900 at a cost of £820, and the church hall was added in 1934. After the Disruption of 1843, a schism within the established Church of Scotland, in which 450 evangelical ministers of the Church broke away, the men of the area engaged in a fanaticism, erecting the " Stone of the Spey " below Boat of Garten. The stone was inscribed by one William Grant and was erected in 1865 in memory of the wife of Patrick Grant. As it was associated with scandal, the district residents destroyed it and threw it into the river.
