Description
The Auld Kirk and Kirkyard at Peathill has stood since the 17th century, its ruins and gravestones a testament to the changing fortunes of the local community over the centuries. The gravestones themselves tell a fascinating story, revealing connections to the Covenanters, the Jacobites, the American War of Independence, and the impact of two World Wars. The history of Peathill is one of contrasts, with the old church and gravestones reflecting the community's complex past. This book explores the story of Peathill, shedding light on the lives and experiences of those who lived and died in this small Scottish village. With its unique blend of history and local heritage, Peathill: The Auld Kirk and Kirkyard is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of Scotland's rural communities.
