Memorial Hall, possible converted church?. Both ©
Martin Briscoe. James Napier has been in touch to advise that the Memorial Hall
pictured is the original building, sold in 1980, and that it has been replaced
by a "Marley" structure build adjacent. He says the building in the photo has a
"Free Kirk" look about it, but he isn't certain if it was a church.

James Napier advises that this church sits on a single track road, and almost at
its end, with Port Wemyss just a little further on. "It is most unusual," he
says "if not
unique in a church of this size to have 2 doors – but they do. Why? One for the
Portnahaven folk who come from one direction and one for the Port Weymss
folk who come the other way!". The Old Free Church. Both © Martin Briscoe.
