A church for sailors, or rather, especially for sailors. Invergordon Parish Church is a relatively modern church by architectural standards, built in 1861 to replace an older sandstone church still visible in Roskeen. It is the tallest building in the town.

Windy and rainy. As we were about to unpack our tea, it started to rain. But it was worth it for the view and a long walk through the forest.
