A lifelong Bankfoot resident has reflected on the long history of a local church now demolished over two centuries after it was built - including his father’s role in bringing holy water over from Palestine.
The partially collapsed Auchtergaven and Moneydie Parish Church was finally brought down three years after it was damaged in a storm and 18 years after it was ravaged by a fire.
Plans to demolish the 210-year-old structure were first scrapped at the end of 2019 over a land access dispute with a neighbouring landowner.
