Hallo everybody!

Does anyone know whether Birdhope Craig Presbyterian Chapel is still standing in the 21st century?

Thank you.

Apparently still standing Lazytee, but closed in recent years.

Many thanks, Finbar - I'll get up there one of these days.

Does anyone know if there are photos online?

Cheers, Lazytee.

Thanks Stan, and apologies Finbar, I didn't read your reply carefully enough.  Lovely to see the chapel.

Lazytee.

Thank you for the suggestion Esdel.

Unfortunately I can never get the little yellow man to work for me!

Regards, Hazel.

Keep hitting the + to go lower and lower.
If you are over a road he should now show automatically.

If not, load the latest version of Google Earth, free download

Good luck!

Thank you Esdel, but I can never get the little yellow man to face the right way!  I'll just have to be satisfied with the excellent photos that have already been posted.

Cheers,

Hazel.
