  1. When in Scotland last, I was disappointed to not be able to get into some of the kirks during the week. One in particular, St. Maurs-Glencairn Parish Church in the village of Kilmaurs...I believe in Ayshire. As a descendant of the Cunningham's, I was interested in getting photos of the inside of the Glencairn Aisle which is an addition on the backside of the church.

    Thanks for this post. I am going to check out Dane's book link.
