Old Photograph Church Dunino Fife Scotland

Old photograph of the Parish Church in Dunino near St Andrew, Fife, Scotland. Dunino Parish Church is situated among open agricultural land on a hill rising to the east of Dunino Burn. It sits in an old graveyard which may be the site of an earlier church, because although the present building dates to the early nineteenth century, the site itself has been a place of worship for perhaps as much as a thousand years.
