Mono Monday: F is for...

...Effigy :D

Thanks to KangaZu for setting this week's challenge.

I've been busy today taking photos of the Auld Kirk in Cullen for a new guide book. This character has a fascinating history (post mortem - I know nothing about his life). He was allegedly "adopted" by a local family, and the date of his death edited, to make them look more prestigious and of longer standing among the local bigwigs. When they'd made their fortune and a built their stately pile a few miles away, he was removed from Cullen in 1792 and put in their private chapel. He was daringly "rescued" and returned to Cullen in 1965!

That's only, of course, the barest outline of this fascinating story.... if you want to know more, you'll just have to come to Cullen and get the guide book! ;)
