Canisbay Parish Church of Scotland

Uploader's Comments

The most northerly Parish Church in Mainland Scotland, nestling on the shores of the Pentland Firth with commanding views of the Orkneys. The present cruciform church is largely 17th century, but the nave incorporates walling from the medieval church and a worn 17th-century monument flanked by pairs of Corinthian pilasters. The tower at the west end was added in 1704. The John de Groat stone of 1568 stands in the vestibule.
