Thurso

Old St Peter's stands as a ruin on the riverside road, parts of the structure have been on the site since the 12th century though the building is predominantly 17th century in date. The main window (visible in both photographs), is unusual in that it faces South. An old documented history of the church architecture notes that two outside staircases gave access to the four galleries within the church and a session house buiolt over a small structure at the eastern end. Local stone is used throughout the building but alas the church was deemed unsafe in 1830 and ceased to be used in 1832.
