Old Photograph New Pitsligo Church Scotland

Old photograph of the church in New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish church was built at the very end of the 18th century, as a chapel of ease. Before the church was built the nearest parish church was in Tyrie, a fairly long walk for the villagers. Permission was granted to build a new church in New Pitsligo in 1799 and a small church opened in the same year. A larger church, the current building on the site, replaced the original in the mid 19th century. It stands at the eastern end of a rectangular graveyard at the north-west edge of the village, and is reached by a short lane.
