Royal Visitor Welcomed
29 June 2017
We were delighted to welcome the Earl of Wessex to the church on 26th June, when he visited us as part of his tour of Cromarty. The Earl was officially opening the new primary extension and visiting many of the community groups that help make Cromarty a good place to live in.
Scottish Redundant Churches Trust chair, and one of the volunteers - David Alston - led the tour of the church, introducing HRH to the many volunteers that enable us to take care of the church and open it each day for visitors. Our youngest volunteer Ben demonstrated his bell ringing skills, and gave the Prince a chance to try his hand too.

It is fascinating not only to study the building fabric and try and work out some of the stages in the church’s development, but also to look at the archaeology within the church.”
