Most surprising is why it was abandoned, and where the people moved. History is full of such incidents

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Dinesh ^club

Thank you Dinesh, From what I can understand its location was and still is remote, so when a new church was built in a nearby village the congregation moved and this church was abandoned!

An interesting set of ruins...........set in lovely surroundings Roger. Well observed and taken.

I used to be a fan of Runrig back in the day. In fact I have a recording (from the TV) of their final concert. It's over 3 hours long and I've not got round to watching it yet!

15 months ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Nice comments Keith, thank you Keith,

They came from the island originally!

That was an amazing concert and well worth watching, ,Carol has it on a dvd,
sadly the lead singer has passed away, his illness was the reason for stopping!

15 months ago.

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Roger (Grisly) ^club

I had no idea they came from Skye.........and didn't know the lead singer had passed away.........that's very sad.

Thanks for the endorsement of the final concert, I'll get round to watching it soon.
