Ruins of St. Mary's Church & Cemetery, Dunvegan, Isle of Skye

 

So off I set to Dunvegan in search of a ruined church and The Duirinish Stone, never been before so took a leisurely stroll around it and shot it from various positions this probably being my favourite. Unfortunately the weather closed in and removed any hope of some light at sunset and removed any view of the background scenery. I didn't see any point of going up to The Duirinish Stone so that's for another time. I do really like these old ruins that are so common in parts of Scotland. They always make me wonder about the story behind how they got to their current state.

 

St Mary's Church was built in 1694 -- the date is inscribed on a stone over the north door -- to replace an older medieval church that served as the parish church for the Duirinish region of northern Skye.

 

The original building was a simple rectangle, but a north burial aisle was added in 1839. A 1735 burial enclosure with fine Renaissance carving stands against the west gable.

 

The church stands within a stone-walled burial ground enclosure. Within the burial ground are three medieval grave slabs carved with traditional claymore and foliage symbols. www.britainexpress.com/scotland/Skye/dunvegan-st-marys-ol...

I took a picture of this house over a year ago and it was in a pretty bad state (see the first comment). When I went by it the other day, I noticed that work was being done. The L-shaped back of the house has been completely removed. This is the same viewpoint as the first picture. They have removed the two windows on the side and boarded over them.

At this point, I’m not sure if they are methodically tearing it all down or fixing it up.

I’ll be keeping my eye on it.

A nice old Italianate house in southern Elkhart County, Indiana. My guess is that this was built somewhere between 1885 and 1895.

The George Miller Covered Bridge was built in 1879 to cross the West Fork of Eagle Creek. An Amish contractor renovated the 169' long bridge in 1990. Located near Russellville it's one of four covered bridges in Brown County. Ohio has over 125 covered bridges making it second in numbers, behind Pennsylvania.

and a wonderful old pickup

For a coupe of days we watched different rosellas check out this hole in a tree at the Tumut Caravan Park. Eventually, this one took up residence and began renovating .... foreshadowing what would face us when we got home in a few days.
