Arran’s heritage examined

Forty members of the Strathclyde Group of the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland (AHSS) recently spent a weekend in Arran to study the buildings and the associated development of the Island villages.

Guy Pettigrew of AHSS said: "Churches have always been a key part of Arran life, and we are extremely grateful to Ann Pringle and Robert Smith, who allowed us to see Corrie and Shiskine churches respectively, supplying lots of local detail in the process. These churches are all the more interesting as they are two very contrasting designs by Sir J J Burnet.

"Ian Davidson and Richard Haig took time to explain the fascinating restoration of Lamlash Church with its wonderful stained glass; a really rewarding story of perseverance over many years. We were all intrigued by the minister’s dry closet."
