St John's Church, Perth

We didn't have a nice blue sky like that yesterday unfortunately! It looks promising today though. A very well framed shot. I would think the tower was a much later addition Joe. Do you know if that is so? Cheers, Rosa.

This is Perth's oldest surviving building, Rosa. "The first historical reference to a church dedicated to St. John the Baptist in Perth was in 1126... The choir was probably complete by 1448, when the High Altar was consecrated, and the transepts and crossing followed soon after. In the 1490s King James IV funded the construction of the nave, and it is known for certain that the tower and spire were completed before 1511..." (Quoted from the 'Visit Scotland' website). Cheers, Joe

A great shot od this lovely old church Joe and a splendid POV too.

Thanks for your very kind comment, Jeff. Cheers, Joe

Looks like sandstone is the building material of choice here, Joe. A compact and sturdy church with a very trim spire. You had some great weather at the beginning of September.

Thanks for your very kind comment, Amelia. I was in Perth twice at the beginning of September and was lucky with the weather. It did rain on my second visit, but I had my photographs taken by then. Cheers, Joe

Beautiful church; very well taken Joe.
