Old Photograph St Ninian's Church Tynet Scotland

Old photograph of St Ninian's Church in Tynet near Buckie on the Moray Firth, Scotland. St Ninian's replaced a church located in St Ninian's burial ground, Chapelford, that was destroyed by soldiers in 1728. Before the construction of St. Ninian's, services were held on an occasional basis, often at night in barns conducted by priests who traveled disguised as ordinary farmers. Erected in 1755, it is the oldest surviving Roman Catholic church built in Scotland after the Reformation.
