Roman Catholic Church, Tayport
In Southern Europe, where Catholicism is the dominant form of Christianity, almost all rural churches are white. In Britain they are usually indistiguishable from the other grey or brown churches though.
What caught my eye about this one, apart from its whiteness, was its odd name. I should have written it down, as Historic Scotland names it as 'St Mary Star The Sea RC Church'. I think someone along the line has missed an 'of' out. 'Star of the Sea' is the English transcription of the Latin 'Stella Maris'. According to lengthy articles on Wikipedia and elsewhere though, this extra name for the Virgin Mary came about due to a mistaken translation between Hebrew and Latin, and has endured for over a thousand years. So what's done is done and coastal RC churches often adopt this name. It has also bestowed on Mary a protector of those at sea status.
The church was built in 1939 and could do with being tarted up a bit in all honesty!

Telephone box, Queen Street
The K6 type telephone box stands near the Church of Our Lady, Star of the Sea.
In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.
