For anyone at @scotarchforum.bsky.social this weekend, I’ll be on the stalls for the Caithness Broch Project and @trimontiumtrust.bsky.social and keen to chat about everything from community archaeology with metal detectors to planning permission for a broch! #archaeology #scotland #broch #romans

This doorway at St Monan’s Church in the East Neuk of Fife 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 caught my eye. St Monan’s has 9thC origins, the extant church founded 14thC by David II after a visit to St Monan’s shrine healed arrow wounds received at the Battle of Neville Cross. For sale by Church of Scotland! #AdoorableThursday

An ornate ogre shaped arched stone doorway frames a bright blue painted wooden door in two parts with studded woodwork detail and a nice solid metal probably bespoke ring door handle on the right hand side. Probably a fairly modern feature though I am not sure and happy to be corrected.

St Monan’s Church is still a place of worship and a valued community resource, and a local community group have formed to try to buy the church and hall in the great Church of Scotland properties sell-off caused by falling congregations and upkeep costs.
