Old Photograph Coldingham Priory Church Scotland

Old photograph of the Priory Church in Coldingham, Berwickshire, Scotland. Coldingham Priory was founded in the reign of King David I of Scotland, although his older brother and predecessor King Edgar of Scotland had granted the land of Coldingham to the Church of Durham, England, in 1098, and a church was constructed by him and presented in 1100. The first prior of Coldingham is on record by the year 1147, although it is likely that the foundation was much earlier. The earlier Columban Abbey was founded by Saint Æbbe around 640 AD. Although the monastery was largely destroyed by Oliver Cromwell in 1648, some remains of the priory exist.

Old Photograph New Pitsligo Church Scotland

Old photograph of the church in New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish church was built at the very end of the 18th century, as a chapel of ease. Before the church was built the nearest parish church was in Tyrie, a fairly long walk for the villagers. Permission was granted to build a new church in New Pitsligo in 1799 and a small church opened in the same year. A larger church, the current building on the site, replaced the original in the mid 19th century. It stands at the eastern end of a rectangular graveyard at the north-west edge of the village, and is reached by a short lane.
