Kirkyard

Cawdor, Nairn view map

The beautiful setting of the Church of Scotland's kirk in Cawdor village, Nairn, a relative newbie being built in the 17th century. See here for more info, but I couldn't resist this snippet from the same website:

"Cawdor church is one of the last churches in Scotland where the offering is still collected by the elders using long handled wooden ladles. These are open boxes on the end of turned poles and are presented to each member of the congregation after the Sunday sermon - an old but canny method that reduces any inclination to forget to give!"
