The Kirk

At the heart of Barthol Chapel since 1875.

The Kirk was opened on 12th August 1875 as the Gordon Memorial Church in memory of George Hamilton-Gordon, the 6th Earl of Aberdeen who lost his life at sea in 1870. 

With thanks to a local resident, a history of the Kirk and the Barthol Chapel area from 1804 has been produced and can be found via this link or clicking the image below.
