Report - Elvanfoot Church, Scotland, April 2016.

[SirHissjunior]

Not a great deal of information out there about this location. What I could find has been copied and pasted from other sites;

'Stone built early 20th century church with high pitched slate roofs and a tower with a pyramidical roof. Located in an active churchyard. It is thought that the church was once lived in as a residence, but has been vacant since the last resident passed away'

The Explore;

I visited this church with a non member. I was made aware of this place from another Scottish explorer. I have a wee fascination with religious buildings even though I'm an atheist.
When I was told this had been lived in and then vacated abruptly my interest piqued even more!
My images do not come close at all to portraying the sheer volume of stuff that has been left behind. Literally a lifetime's worth of belongings. It was a fine balancing act trying to create and then walk a path through the stuff whilst carrying my equipment.

Enjoy!

Couple of things wrong here:-

1. The photos are not showing
2. You need to do away with the silly code name, the Church must have a name and it also must be based somewhere...Scotland is a pretty big place.

Hmm....the photos were showing on the preview. Any suggestions as to why they are not showing now?

Perhaps you need to check your privacy settings? It might be that they're set to private or something

Strange thing for a cat to eat, no?

Much better, thanks, at least with a proper name it gives other people the opportunity to pay the place a visit if they are in the area.
