Buildings with layers of age and history

This will be the final in the series of the old buildings seen on our Highland trips and walks - for this visit at least.

The simple church above was built in 1891 as a mission hall church - it was brought to site as a prefabricated corrugated iron and timber building and erected. It is still standing strong - not used as much these days but sits gorgeously in the landscape. The simple shed below was in the adjacent cemetery.

I think I have more than enough photos to enable me to do the watercolour series I started.
