EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Old Crathie Kirk, a historic place of worship located in the picturesque Scottish village of Crathie. Built in 1895 in the Gothic Revival style, the church stands as a testament to the rich history and deep-rooted Christian traditions of the Scottish Highlands. The current structure replaced an earlier church built in 1804, making it a significant landmark in the area. The image, taken in 1882, depicts a group of worshippers gathered outside the church on a sunny day. Dressed in their Sunday best, the men wear top hats and long coats, while the women don elegant dresses and bonnets. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and reverence, as the congregation gathers for a service, likely led by the local minister. The Old Crathie Kirk holds a special significance as the place of worship for the British Royal Family when they are in residence at nearby Balmoral Castle. The connection between the monarchy and the church dates back to Queen Victoria's time, who was an avid supporter of the Scottish Kirk and spent many summers at Balmoral. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1880s and the Victorian era, a time when religion played a central role in the lives of people in Scotland and beyond. The Old Crathie Kirk continues to be an important part of the community, serving as a reminder of the area's rich history and enduring spiritual traditions.
