The little tin kirk, Killin


Rabbit admires St Fillan's Episcopal Church in Killin.
Built in 1876 by the Earl of Breadalbane for private use by shooting parties, St Fillan’s earned the name ‘Grouse Church’ among locals. It has been in almost continual use since then and has a weekly Episcopal service and a Roman Catholic mass.Constructed from corrugated iron, this ‘tin tabernacle’ was bought in kit form from a specialist manufacturer, likely to be the London Iron Church and Chapel Co., in which the Earl held shares. It's one of Scotland's smallest churches, and one of the best preserved of these little tin churches which are found in various villages.

You will see that the sun is still shining. In fact, we're now entering our fourth week of almost continuous warm, sunny weather. It's astonishing! Rabbit has been too warm to sleep at nights. But he is certainly not complaining!
