Old Photograph Tullich Kirk Scotland
Old photograph of Tullich Kirk near Ballater in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. A Celtic chapel was established here by Nathalan, or Neachtan, who died in AD 678. The church was held by the Knights Templars and latterly by the Hospitallers, who built a fort around the church in the 13th century, traces of which still remain. The present, now ruined, building is a good example of a Medieval parish church. Against the north wall of the church is a worn Pictish stone carved with traditional Pictish symbols of a mirror, beast, double disc, and Z-rod. There is a Pictish cross slab five miles away at Kinord, and a stone circle at Tomnaverie, nine miles away.
