St Mary's Old Church is a ruin just outside Dunvegan, here on the Isle of Skye. The church was built in 1694 - the date is inscribed on a stone over the north door - to replace an older medieval church that served as the parish church for the Duirinish region of N. Skye.

The original building was a simple rectangle, but a burial aisle was added in 1839. A 1735 burial enclosure with fine Renaissance carving stands against the west gable.

Ihr müsst ja wissen, was Ihr tut, aber wenn Ihr auf #Skye seid, empfehle ich den Besuch von #Dunvegan. Die Gärten sind wunderschön, und es liegt an einem Loch, in dem Seerobben (common seal) leben. Die kann man bei einer Fahrt mit einem klitzekleinen Boot besuchen. Für die Fahrt werden extra Rettungswesten bereitgestellt.

Das Schloss selbst ist nichts besonderes und flott besichtigt.

I met a venerable old shore beast today. I told them how much I liked their hair cut. They seemed quite pleased to hear that.
