The little tin kirk, Killin

The little tin kirk, Killin
Rabbit admires St Fillan's Episcopal Church in Killin.

Built in 1876 by the Earl of Breadalbane for private use by shooting parties, St Fillan’s earned the name ‘Grouse Church’ among locals. It has been in almost continual use since then and has a weekly Episcopal service and a Roman Catholic mass.Constructed from corrugated iron, this ‘tin tabernacle’ was bought in kit form from a specialist manufacturer, likely to be the London Iron Church and Chapel Co., in which the Earl held shares. It's one of Scotland's smallest churches, and one of the best preserved of these little tin churches which are found in various villages.

You will see that the sun is still shining. In fact, we're now entering our fourth week of almost continuous warm, sunny weather. It's astonishing! Rabbit has been too warm to sleep at nights. But he is certainly not complaining!

It looks beautifully cared for. Must look out for it next time I'm over that way I didn't know about tin churches and love that you could order one up if so inclined. Hope Rabbit isn't getting sunburnt ears.

Lovely little church............and a lovely little Rabbit. Nicely taken.

There are quite a few of these "tin tabernacles" around still : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_tabernacle

New to me too. Still early Spring in Madrid - lots of rain and very cool. Almost Cornish weather!
