Cold and frosty morning

While in Killearn this morning for the annual Strathendrick Singers Coffee Morning, I took a stroll down to the ruins of the old church and graveyard.

The Archaeological Notes from the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland states:

      The old parish church of Killearn, now roofless, stands in a large graveyard. It is dated 1734, and as no work of an earlier period can be seen in the fabric it was presumably built then as a completely new structure, but an older church must have preceded it as many of the tombstones are of the 17th century, and at least 3 slabs were noted, now without inscription, which taper markedly from head to foot, suggesting a medieval date. 

The frost was still lying on the grass and the cloudless sky was a beautiful blue. I love days like this!

Hope everyone's having a good weekend.
