Old Photograph St. Modan's Gate Fraserburgh Scotland

Old photograph of St. Modan's Gate in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. St Medan or Modan is the patron saint of Fraserburgh. He came to the area in the early 7th century and had a chapel at Philorth. The site was almost certainly in the current Kirkton cemetary on the small knoll there. The site would have been re-used by the parish church was was in existence by 1274.
