St Mary & St Finnan Church - D700, 24-70mm
We came around the corner as we traveled the road to the isles and made a screeching stop to pull into the parking lot in front of this church. Here is a bit of history from the visitscotland web site:
The church was consecrated in 1873. Designed by E Welby Pugin in the Gothic style, the church enjoys an elevated and commanding position overlooking Loch Shiel with a spectacular view of the loch and surrounding hills. The church is a memorial chapel to the MacDonalds of Glenaladale, the family with whom Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed prior to the raising of the Jacobite standard at Glenfinnan in August 1745. The church contains memorial stones to the Prince and to members of the MacDonald family.
One of the things I fell in love with traveling in England and Wales and Ireland was the crumbling, history-soaked, architecture set against such beautiful backdrops. This photo brings back vivid memories of my own travels in the UK.
Hey Tim,
It’s good to be home…sort of. The trip went by way too fast.
Glad to have revived some memories for you…I felt pretty much the same as you during out travels.
This church looks much, much older than 136 years!
Sam, I really like this picture…is it possible to order?
Drew,
Thanks for the comment, I like this one too. Pretty much reflects the scene the way it was…though nothing replaces being there.
Please see my purchase page on my web site for ordering info.
If you want a size other than what’s listed let me know and I will give you a price. Please use the contact form on my site to send the initial email with your information. I do this to try to avoid the bane of spammers…
