Oh my my….this is a stunning church! And what a setting! Your photo is beautiful, Jim. The colors are soft and spotlight the handsome church.
I’m thinking the loch is behind the church?…I think I can see a bit of water. This is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this lovely photo.

  Many thanks Judy. The loch behind the church is loch Shiel. I have an image of this loch, which I hope to post shortly.
