This is an old derelict church tucked away amongst modern houses. We found it by accident and it was a very peaceful and fascinating place. Sure, you can’t go inside, it is falling apart after all, but walking around it, reading the old gravestones, it’s a very pleasant experience. We were the only ones there, too which is not surprising since it was afternoon on a weekday out of ‘tourist’ season. If you’re in Thurso it’s worth a visit!
Amazing to discover this ancient ruined old Church. Founded in 1220 by Gilbert Murray the Bishop of Caithness. The architecture of the large window is really worth taking time to admire. There are a lot of very old gravestones most of which are well weathered. Surfaces are uneven so take care walking there is a small path. Well worth a visit to see this.
Nice little ruined church tucked away surrounded by houses.nWe really liked looking at the tracery in the large arched window. It's so worn it looks so delicate and fragile. We also noticed the design is slightly off centre, but what amazing work. Imagine trying to create that now.nA lot of the headstones have weathered and the stone has laminated, but everything wears away eventually.
Old St. Peter's Church in Thurso is a hidden gem steeped in history and charm. Its ancient walls whisper tales of centuries past, offering visitors a glimpse into Scotland's rich heritage. The peaceful atmosphere and architectural beauty make it a tranquil spot for reflection and exploration. A must-visit for history buffs and those seeking a serene retreat in the heart of Thurso.
This is a very old church, and it really looks like it has been left to simply fall apart. That makes me sad for the age of the church of 1220. One of the oldest, I believe, in town.nnI think there is some renovation work beginning, and if you have time in the evening for a walk, I highly recommend checking it out.
