St Peter's Kirk, Orkney (2) - a photo on Flickriver

            St Peter's Kirk (also known as Skail Kirk) is a rare surviving example of an unaltered Church of Scotland Parish Kirk of 1836. Designated a Category A listed building by Historic Scotland, the current kirk is built partly on the foundations of its predecessor built in 1670. The dedication to St Peter has probably been given to all previous chapels on the site.
Situated on an exposed site near the Bay of Skaill and overlooking Skara Brae, it is a large harled church, with two tall windows in the centre, a bellcote and a slate roof; the interior evokes the experience of Presbyterian worship in the 19th century when over 500 people attended the church. It was acquired by the Scottish Redundant Churches Trust in 1998 and restored between 2002-3.
