Kirk Hill stone church celebrates 150 years
By SANDRA BERRY
News Reporter
With its memorial gates with plaques reading "Chuimhneachen" (Gaelic for - In memory of) and its setting south of the centry-old, MacGillivray property east of Laggan, the Kirk Hill United Church of .Canada is a symbol of local history and rural spirituality.
"There are a lot of things to remember," says Dalkeith native, Alexander MacLeod with a laugh when asked to describe fond memories of the 150-year-old church.
MacLeod can still hear the Gaelic songs, remember the camaraderie of the lawn socials and smell the smoke of the church fire in 1948 when given time to reflect upon his life with the Kirk Hill church.
"Four or five men would get up and sing Gaelic songs," he said .
Although MacLeod could not speak Gaelic, the language brought a sense of home because he often heard his mother talking Gaelic with his grandmother.
A bilingual minister served at the church until 1922 when Rev. A. Morrison, the last minister to preach in Gaelic, died.....
.....The stone church on the north side of Kirk Hill was built in 1849 when some Presbyterians opted to leave the Lochiel Church of Scotland, commonly known as St. Columba.
