Montrose Church

After visiting the GPO I headed for the Visitors' Centre in the Basin and took some shots of eider ducks with their ducklings but all turned out blurred. Pity because some of the shots were really good family ones, but they were quite a long way away from the Hide.

So the Church taken from the Centre is my blip for the day. There has been a church on that site for hundreds of years. The present building dates from 1791 with its magnificent steeple designed by James Gillespie Graham, dating from 1834. Formerly known as Montrose Old Church it was recently united with St Andrew's Church to become Old and St Andrew's Church, Montrose, a Church of Scotland church.

I'm not sure what the white buildings down on the shore are, but
Montrose had a prominent second place in the league table of Scottish salmon exporting ports in the Middle Ages so they might be connected to that in some way.
