Written in desperation: etched words on Croick Church
Written in desperation: etched words on Croick Church
"Glencalvie people - the wicked generation"

The sad story of the eviction from Glen Calvie and Croick and the parishioners huddled in the lee of the church as they waited their fate is explained on an information board. The church is part of the parish of Edderton, Croick and Ardgay and four services a year are held here in the summer. The church seemed to be in an excellent state of repair.

See NH4591 : Glencalvie: "The wicked generation" for an extended description and Richard Webb's image of the same window.
