Old Photograph Muckairn Church Scotland

Old photograph of Muckairn Church by Taynuilt, Argyll, Scotland. The modern parish church of Muckairn was built in 1829, but immediately south of it are the fragmentary remains of its medieval predecessor, which served the former parish of Muckairn or Kilespikeral. A number of medieval stone slabs or blocks with weathered decoration may be seen in the churchyard, while two medieval carved stones, probably from the earlier church, are built into the outer face of the south wall of the modern church.

Old Photograph Mertoun Parish Church Scotland

Old photograph of Mertoun Parish Church near St Boswells in the Borders, Scotland. The original church of 1241, not on this site, was dedicated to St Ninian. The present church was built 1652, renovated 1820 and enlarged 1898 with the addition of the north aisle and vestry. Saint Ninian is a Christian saint first mentioned in the 8th century as being an early missionary among the Pictish peoples of what is now Scotland. For this reason he is known as the Apostle to the Southern Picts, and there are numerous dedications to him in those parts of Scotland with a Pictish heritage, throughout the Scottish Lowlands, and in parts of Northern England with a Northumbrian heritage. In Scotland, Ninian is also known as Ringan, and as Trynnian in Northern England.
