Old Photograph Parish Church Kippen Scotland
Old photograph of the parish church in Kippen, Scotland. This Scottish church was built in 1827 by William Stirling, extensively redesigned between 1924 and 1926 by Reginald Fairlie and Eric Bell. Reginald was born on 7 March 1883 at Kincaple, Fife, he was the son of J. Ogilvy Fairlie of Myers and Jane Mary Fairlie. He was educated at the Oratory School in Birmingham, England. He was apprenticed to Robert Lorimer in 1901 and much of his style echoes that of Lorimer. A faithful Roman Catholic, Fairlie designed many war memorials, churches and restorations of castles. From a long list of commissions only a handful fall outside the borders of Scotland. Fairlie died in St.Raphael’s Nursing Home in the Grange, Edinburgh but was buried with his parents in the Eastern Cemetery in St Andrews. His grave stone was carved by his friend Hew Lorimer. It lies on the eastern wall, towards the south east corner.
