#ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Modan's, Rosneath has a fine carved oak pulpit, dated 1624, and a superbly carved and brightly coloured communion table. Behind this a painted wooden reredos, designed in 1931 by Morris Meredith Williams shows the Last Supper. Note too the ceiling.

Local folklore suggests that St Modan may have been buried in the old graveyard opposite our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Modan's, Rosneath.
This story undoubtedly grew in strength following the discovery, in 1880, of an elaborately carved early-medieval cross slab, buried there.

The people in this house, who aren’t interested in football, didn’t appreciate that this is a collector’s item. Too many times through the dishwasher in 48 years!
