Weather vane. Kilmartin Church, Argyll, Scotland

The spectacular view of Elgin Cathedral, the "Lantern of the North", from the top of its vertiginous north tower. A church was first built here in the 1200s and despite major setbacks the cathedral thrived until the Reformation of 1560. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot... #Scotland #Moray

2/2 Govan Old, the former Govan Parish Church. The 1880s rebuilding happened under rector John Macleod, whose Govan Movement pioneered Scoto-Catholicism, a movement within the Church of Scotland that promoted beauty in worship as an inspiration to the protestant working classes of Clydeside.

A 13th Century-style font to the design of Robert Rowand Anderson, in his 1880s former Govan Parish Church, Glasgow, now in the care of Govan Heritage Trust. The building is home to the Govan Stones, a collection of early medieval memorials of national importance. #FontsOnFriday

Troqueer Parish Church, Dumfries. #blackandwhitephotography #Scotland #Galloway #History

A reminder that the Cathedral is closed today for an internal event; open as usual tomorrow.

We are looking forward to once again taking part in the #31daysofgraves!

Very much enjoying BBC Radio Three's journey from Inverness to London so far, celebrating 200 years of the modern railway. I was in Inverness back in July - here are Old High and Free North churches across the River Ness. Old High has recently been sold to a community group. 1/3

2/3 Òran Mór, built as Kelvinside Free Church, 1862 by JJ Stephenson. When the United Free Church merged back into the Church of Scotland in 1929 it became Kelvinside Parish Church. In 1978 the congregation moved in with Hillhead Parish Church a few hundred yards off.

For #Woodensday, the roof of Òran Mór, the former Kelvinside Parish Church, Byers Road, Glasgow. The church closed in 1978, and the roof was painted by Alasdair Gray in 2007 when the building was converted into an arts and entertainment venue.

A Fife community group called the "Future of Falkland Church Building" has launched a campaign to secure the historic church in their village which is facing closure as a place of worship and is expected to be sold within the next two years. Full story here 👇 www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/people/...

Two of our church recording groups have been busy documenting Scotland's fragile religious heritage again this past week. First up, here's the group from Inverclyde visiting on Saturday the now sadly closed Greenock West United Reform Church, that is currently on the market for offers over £125k.

The trefoil window in the east gable of our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, Port of Menteith Church, is a very fine example of the work of Stephen Adam, one of Scotland’s foremost Victorian stained glass artists. It is a worthy example for #WindowsOnWednesday and depicts faith, hope and charity. 🧵1/2

The Caledonia Road Church in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. This fire-damaged and derelict, but still impressive, building was designed by Glasgow's most famous Victorian Architect Alexander 'Greek' Thomson in the 1850s. #glasgow #church #architecture #buildings #architecturephotography

2/2 The sanctuary at St Anthony, Govan. The church was built 1877-79 by John Honeyman. @YalePevsner thought its Italian Romanesque 'an unusual style for Glasgow churches of that date'.

The very ancient churchyard at Old Govan Parish Church. #Govan #IR #InfraRed #GlasgowOpenDaysFestival #GODF #Glasgow

The magnificent main entrance to Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church in the west end of Glasgow. I paritcularly like the nested gothic arches around the doors and the massive wheel window above them. #glasgow #church #hillhead #kelvinside #gothicarchitecture #architecture #architecturephotography

#MementoMoriMonday 💀 Spotted at St Mary's Chapel, Grandtully, Perthshire. 18thC stone depicting Abraham offering Isaac for sacrifice.

The magnificent Fowlis Wester Pictish symbol stone in Fowlis Wester near Crieff in Perthshire. This is actually a highly convincing replica: the real stone shelters from the elements and can be visited in the nearby church. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot... #Scotland #Perthshire

Church off Glenfinnan #glenfinnan #photography #scotland

This picturesque #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, Port of Menteith Church, is situated in a beautiful location on the east shore of the lake. It was designed and built by the Glasgow architect, John Honeyman, in 1878, in the early Gothic style. 🧵1/2

#Edinburgh please note

Look at this beauty on #StainedGlassSunday at St Michael's Church, Linlithgow

Faith, Hope and Charity with the Four Corners of the World, a detail of Douglas Strachan's great east window of 1932 in Paisley Abbey. North has a reindeer, West has the hammer of industry, South has a basket of fruits, and East has a leopard and a lily. #stainedglasssunday

#StainedGlassSunday Former Free Church, Tobermory.

Douglas Strachan's typically convoluted depiction of Psalm 148, in the Church of the Holy Rude, Stirling, installed in 1946. #StainedGlassSunday

Is Paisley Abbey the only Church of Scotland parish church with a confessional, I wonder. Can you guess why it's there?

St Conan's Kirk, Dalmally, Argyll, Scotland #Scotland #Church #St.Conan #LochAwe

St George and Hope by Louis Davis, 1917, in Dunblane Cathedral. It remembers Lt Col John Boyd Wilson who 'fell in action leading his battalion in the charge at Gallipoli' in 1915. An added inscription remembers his wife Harriet who died in 1971, almost 60 years later.

Our wonderful volunteer church recorders will look EVERYWHERE when documenting a church. Proving why this is so vital, Ali Cameron, who leads the Aberdeenshire church recorders, has sent us these amazing 125 year old doodles found in hymnaries & psalm books this week in Hillside Church, Montrose. 😍

On St Ninian’s Day, here’s a #StainedGlass window in St Serf’s Scottish Episcopal Church, Comrie, Perthshire, by William Wilson, 1962.

Really enjoyed the symposium - such knowledgeable enthusiasts!
