DURNESS CHURCH, Sutherlandshire.[1]
It is interesting to find in the neighbourhood of Cape Wrath a
specimen of ecclesiastical architecture, even though of the seventeenth
century. The old parish church, which is now a ruin, occupies the site of
a cell of Dornoch monastery. It was built in 1619. The Plan (Fig. 1531)
is somewhat irregular, but not unlike, in general form, to many of the
churches of Scotland at the same period, having the pulpit placed in the
centre of the long side wall, and facing the wing.
- ↑ The Plan is drawn from a sketch kindly supplied by the Rev. Alex. Miller of Buckie.
