Croick Church
By Ardgay, Sutherland IV24 - Scotland, UK

Map
The pretty Croick Church, designed by the engineer Thomas Telford, lies in Strathcarron to the west of the Highland village of Ardagy. However, its appearance belies a massacre of the Highlands of which it was a grisly witness. That massacre was the widespread clearances of people from the land to make way for sheep in the 19th Century. In 1845 the Clearance of Glencalvie forced 18 families to seek shelter in the lee of the church where they scratched their farewells in the window panes – visible to this day.
