We had quite a job to find this church because it is not well signed. It looks an interesting, historic place which we would have liked to see inside but unfortunately the door was locked.

Amazing historical landmark that’s unfortunately too dangerous to enter.

St Bride’s a a gorgeous little church. Currently sealed off due to repair works being carried out by Historic Environment Scotland, it houses the tomb’s of the Douglas family (one of Scotland’s most prominent families; which includes the Dukes of Hamilton, Buccleuch, and Abercorn in their ranks). Also in the kirkyard is a Covenanter Memorial.

We were able to secure the key to have a look inside this old church. Artifacts inside and old monuments. The church is not in regular use but is a historic place. Locals were able to give us more information and insight. Graves in a small chuchyard reflect local history many headstones damaged or fallen over. Take care in the event of one falling.
