Old Travel Blog Photograph Parish Church Tobermory Isle Of Mull Scotland
Old travel Blog photograph of the Parish Church in Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Scotland. A Telford Parliamentary church built on the site in 1828 was replaced by the present Victorian Gothic building in 1897. The architect was John Robertson of Inverness in the Highlands. The contractor was local builder Donald Fletcher who built many of the larger houses and villas in Tobermory. During the Second World War, when Tobermory was a naval base, many officers and men, and women, worshipped here each Sunday, marching up in smart military formation from their ships in the bay. In gratitude for the care they received from the minister of the time, the Reverend John Menzies, they gave a gift of a lectern. Imagine a naval officer reading the lesson and knowing the following Sunday he might be out on the Atlantic avoiding enemy U-boats.
