Religious Ruin

Religious Ruin
A somber sky and mood for this image of Bornesketaig Church, which is a ruined church on the Trotternish Peninsula of the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
It sits in the Kilmuir area, visible from Kilmuir Cemetery. The ruins stand on a grassy slope above Camus Mor Bay, overlooking the sea—making it a handy navigational landmark for vessels in the past,
Built in 1810.
Still shown as intact on Ordnance Survey maps from 1903.
Recorded as a ruin by the 1961 map (it likely fell into disuse sometime in between, possibly around the 1920s when a new church opened nearby in Balgown).

HWW to all!,,,,,,,,,,, Large perhaps !

A great contribution here Roger that I missed at the posting time. I have seen a few ruins akin to this up in the Highlands, all tokens of a bygone age. Well captured.

Best Wishes. Herb
