What a handsome little church. Curious (from a Californian's point of view) that there are gravestones scattered about in what appears to be the front lawn area. I've seen that in pictures of other churches over there as well, just never commented on it.
I notice that often in stone structures in some parts of southern Scotland (and perhaps northern England, don't know), that a reddish colored stone is used. In fact, isn't Ferintosh built from similar material? Limestone? Sandstone? Whatever it is, it looks great.
I wish we could use masonry construction here in California. Being earthquake country, it requires so much reinforcement that it's impractical, though not unheard of.
Thanks for the quick tour!
