Old Photograph Parish Church Mochrum Scotland
Old photograph of the Parish Church in Mochrum, located nine miles South West of Wigtown, Scotland. This Scottish church was built on the site of, and using the walls of, a previous church building which dates back to the 12th century. The former Kirk building was largely destroyed by fire in the 1770s, and the current building which used most of the former building's rectangular walls in its construction, was substantially altered sometime around 1840. The Georgian T-plan kirk building, which dates back to 1794, is a prime example of Scotland's post-Reformation ecclesiastical architecture. Sir John Dunbar of Mochrum was killed at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. he was survived by his wife Janet Stewart, and his third son Gavin Dunbar, born 1490, died 1547, became Archbishop of Glasgow in 1524.
