Old Photograph Old Kirk Kilmacolm Scotland
Old photograph of a shop, people and the old kirk in Kilmacolm located fifteen miles West of Glasgow, Scotland. A white painted church with a tower built in 1830 by James Dempster of Greenock, on the site of 13th and 16th century churches. James Dempster was born in 1797, the son of James Dempster, master joiner, and his wife, Elizabeth McFarlane. He practised as an architect and land surveyor in Greenock. Dempster was involved with a number of the town's works, he was involved the layout of a park developed from land given by Sir Michael Shaw Stewart in 1852, and must have been reasonably prosperous as he bequeathed money to the ragged school in his will. James Dempster died on 19 July 1867. He was single.
