Murroes and Tealing Church

Now I'm not a religious person, I don't go to church and I don't worship anyone, unless my football team are doing particularly well (which they're not). However, I do like a good church. And this is one of those. I never even knew this church existed until Saturday when I was at the garden centre and I glimpsed it through the trees. it's Murroes and Tealing Church.

I also happen to like a nice piece of stained glass. Now these are perhaps not the best examples, but for a simple country kirk I think they shine.

I was initially wandering around outside snapping away, and I noticed the door open. So I did what any nosy eejit with a camera would do and went inside. There was a woman 'doing the flowers' and I think I shortened her life considerably when I said ' Hello, mind if I take some photos?' Now I can understand her anxiety when a guy with a camera appears on a Saturday afternoon, but to be honest, to describe her reaction as frosty would be an understatement. I tried to explain that I was simply a lover of churches and an amateur photographer but it really didn't cut any ice with her. I snapped away as quickly as I could and left, but couldn't help thinking, no wonder your feckin' churches are empty!

Impressive Proddy pulpit or what?

This was the killer for me...... in the top pic you see this from the outside. Wow..... some difference when viewed from inside, now I'm colour blind, and red and black together do my head in, but even so this to me is incredible.
