Old Photograph Parish Church Dunsyre South Lanarkshire Scotland

Old photograph of the Parish Church in Dunsyre, Gaelic: Dùn Saghair, a villageSouth Lanarkshire, Scotland. This small rural church stands on a mound that may have been the site of a much earlier church building. The name of Dunsyre is of Celtic origin and is supposed to signify the " Hill of the Seer ." It is located by the burn known as the South Medwin Water. From 1867 until 1945 Dunsyre was served by a railway branch from Carstairs to Dolphinton, originally built by the Caledonian Railway, and the disused embankment of this runs along the south side of the village close to the church.
