Re: St. James Church, Church Kirk

Shouldn't you be directing that at the Catholic Church?

Yes it's a shame, all that history and no one willing to keep it going, but, let's be honest this is a modern thing, preservation.
We must preserve the past (or some silly unwanted tree), practicality says nobody can afford it's upkeep, in days gone by as it fell apart the stonework would be used elsewhere in a practical (recycling) manner.
As much as it has been enjoyed it now costs too much (no doubt because it's a listed building and must be maintained in its original form) there again maybe nobody is really interested in religion anymore and find better things to maintain?
