We’ll be bringing some of these reflections back to our work within ReACH and exploring how they might inform our focus on material culture, community value and sustainable futures #ReACH #ChurchHeritage #GreatExpectations

The conference framed the church buildings not just as relics or monuments, but as active community assets which are in need of care and adaptation. Each speaker reflected on the community and social value connected to churches #ReACH #ChurchHeritage #GreatExpectations

Whilst our project looks at the challenges faced in Scotland, the structural challenges faced across the UK are similar #ReACH #ChurchHeritage

A few takeaways from the day:

Churches all over the UK are facing similar stresses of repairs, shrinking congregations and rising running costs, and the most effective responses are multidisciplinary.

Kirkmichael showed us how a historic site can thrive when it is continually cared for and the peace of the site, the craftsmanship and the commitment of the Trust left a lasting impression on us #ReACH #churchheritage

Jim’s insights into decades of conservation work were invaluable - from restoring the church fabric to creating meaningful interpretation and maintaining the graveyard #reach #churchheritage

A highlight of our Inverness fieldwork was visiting Kirkmichael and meeting Jim Mackay from the Kirkmichael Trust. Jim’s generosity - a personal tour and even a cup of tea - captured the community spirit that sustains sites like this #churchheritage #reach

East Church is a great example of how church spaces can be adapted with respect, connecting the past and present. We’re excited to see how it continues to evolve! #reach #churchheritage

What stood out to us most was how carefully the plans balanced heritage in their new use - historic features will remain visible, continuing the story of Gaelic worship in the Highlands #churchheritage #reach

The project will see East Church reborn into a Gaelic Culture Centre, creating a living hub for language, learning, music and community events #reach #churchheritage

Our visit to East Church, Inverness, offered a glimpse into transformation in progress ⛪️ thanks to Murto for opening the doors and showing us around the interior whilst work continues - scaffolding and plans all mixed together! #ReACH #churchheritage

Two figures walk on dark green grass of a graveyard, towards the centre of the image - their backs facing the photographer. To the left of the photo is the wall of the church which is brown and yellow sandstone blocks. The woman walks slightly behind the man, wearing a white and black striped dress and black coat and has short hair. The man wears brown trousers and beige coat.  The sky is blue with thin whispy clouds

Every perspective helped to demonstrate how layered church heritage is. A huge thank you to Chris, who guided us through the building and, along with Maureen, shared stories about the future plans for the church under community ownership #ReACH #ChurchHeritage

Beyond the architecture, we also spoke to locals and nearby businesses about their memories of Old High and what it means to them, as well as visitors to the churchyard - from Outlander to Jacobites, stories of concerts and hide & seek, we heard it all! #ReACH #ChurchHeritage

A woman stands in the centre of the image surrounded by wooden pews. She is wearing a black and white striped skirt and black coat and has short hair. She stands side on with arms raised holding a digital camera. She stands on a balcony which has a plush green ledge. Behind the balcony is a large stone arch which is inscribed. Within the arch - set a little back- is an organ with gold pipes. To the left of the arch is a stained glass window

Inside we explored the nooks and crannies - photographing pews, marble floors, stained glass windows, memorials and all the small details that carry centuries of worship #ReACH #ChurchHeritage

The top third of the image is a blue sky, with only a few clouds towards the middle at the right. Along the bottom third is the river which has ripples and is a dark blue with reflections of the building above. A road runs above the river bank and above the road are rectangular buildings. In the centre of the buildings is Old High church. The clock tower is at the centre and extends into the sky - it is rectangular with a spire. In front of the church are some trees and a grassy bank sloping to the road below

The site is believed to be where St Columba converted King Brude of the Picts in 565AD. The church has medieval origins and is layered in history. It's a prominent feature of the Inverness skyline, standing above the River Ness #ReACH #ChurchHeritage

We've just returned from a few inspiring days of fieldwork in Inverness and the Black Isle, visiting churches, meeting local groups and hearing how communities are caring for and reimagining these remarkable buildings!
