Auchaber Kirk
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 4 Mar 2015
This rather grim-looking kirk serves the united parishes of Forgue and Inverkeithny, including Ythan wells, which was disjoined from Forgue and Auchterless in 1864. Originally a Free Kirk, it came into the Church of Scotland in 1929 when many Free Kirk congregations were reunited with that denomination. There followed a series of amalgamations as congregations dwindled, and the kirks and manses of Ythanwells, Forgue and Inverkeithny were sold off. The kirk is not a listed building and the architect is unknown. Compare with Image], taken over eight years earlier. The door has been re-painted, but the dreary grey harling looks as grubby as it did then.
