The old Kirk .... - a photo on Flickriver

The old Kirk ....

For the Crazy Tuesday topic "Within a 5 Minutes Walk"
but removed from the group pool as there is a cross on a tombstone ....

The Kirkton of Auchterless is a tiny village in Aberdeenshire, which was built round the church or kirk. So the kirk itself, and the kirkyard that surrounds it is the most interesting place within a 5 minute walk from my home.

The Kirkyard contains the ruins of an older parish church: "Ruined St Drostan's Church retains a birdcage bellcote, a chamfered arch window and bell dated 1644" (Wiki)
The shot I took here is looking through the remaining wall of the old kirk. It takes you back a little way, though the human history of the Auchterless area (much larger than the village) dates back to prehistoric times, with prehistoric remains including stone circles, and the remains of earthen huts. We are just the latest people to walk here!
