One of the first stops on our tour was Old St. Peter’s Kirk (church) in Thurso. The remains of what was once one of the best religious buildings from the Middle Ages. Today most of it is in ruins except for the window that was carved out of a single slab of stone. You can also see where lepers sat during services. There is a wall with hooks used to secure sinners for a length of time depending on their sin. This wall bore the brunt of the bitter cold winds. In one corner is a watch house built to deter body snatchers who sold corpses to medical schools. Some of the marker stones in the church graveyard show skulls, crossbones, angels as well as emblems representing the deceased individual’s trade.
