This is an old derelict church tucked away amongst modern houses. We found it by accident and it was a very peaceful and fascinating place. Sure, you can’t go inside, it is falling apart after all, but walking around it, reading the old gravestones, it’s a very pleasant experience. We were the only ones there, too which is not surprising since it was afternoon on a weekday out of ‘tourist’ season. If you’re in Thurso it’s worth a visit!

This is a very old church, and it really looks like it has been left to simply fall apart. That makes me sad for the age of the church of 1220. One of the oldest, I believe, in town. I think there is some renovation work beginning, and if you have time in the evening for a walk, I highly recommend checking it out.

Open to all to visit, the local volunteers do their best to share their knowledge and to encourage support for the upkeep of the site. You can't enter the church itself due to the poor condition of the stonework. There are many interesting headstones to look for.
