I’ve been recently working on a photographic project about the Saint Cuthbert’s Way long distance trail. Though the route is not associated with any particular journey that Cuthbert made, it does pass through places that would have been very familiar to the saint. The walk starts at the site of Cuthbert’s first ministry in Melrose and ends sixty-two miles later on the island of Lindisfarne, neatly tying up the two ends of Saint Cuthbert’s Christian life. Along the way, the route passes through charming border towns and villages, past many interesting historical sites and across much spectacular landscape. Tom’s Knowe on the English side of the border is typical of the landscape of this part of the walk. Wide, open and very windy! When I created this photograph I was as low down as possible, with the camera about a foot off the ground, just to remain stable in the gale force wind. It took about a half hour of waiting until sunlight splashed through a gap in the clouds to the spot that I wanted highlighted.

My second attempt at HDR. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix. The clock tower and spire of St Cuthbert’s church just off Lothian Road, Edinburgh, with edinburgh castle in the background. Tradition has it that St. Cuthbert, the famed monk-bishop of Lindisfarne, stopped by the shores of the Nor’ Loch (a lake now replaced with Princes Street Gardens) just below Edinburgh Castle and built a little hut there. This is the site of St. Cuthbert’s Parish Church, whose current incarnation dates from the 19th century but is built over at least six earlier places of worship. The first record of St. Cuthbert’s Church in Edinburgh is in 1127, when King David I gave all the land below the Castle to St Cuthbert’s. Little is known of the church’s history from the 12th to the 16th century, aside from occasional references in Vatican documents.

Lindisfarne, usually known as Holy Island, is off the north east coast of England, shortly before reaching Berwick On Tweed. Celtic Christianity reached our country from Ireland via Iona and Lindisfarne. The Lindisfarne Gospels (similar to the Book of Kells) was written here. The Vikings invaded and slaughtered the monks, but some escaped with the Gospels and the remains of St. Cuthbert. They fled to Durham, stopping off at many places enroute, most of which ended up with a church named in honour of St. Cuthbert. Tomg mentioned the Beblowe Craig, a volcanic mound on which the castle stands. Here is Tom’s photo, taken from a different perspective and showing more of the actual castle. Wutz4tea, a new Redbubbler, mentioned liking Holy Island, so I am uploading this for her.

The Kirk of Calder in Mid-Calder, West Lothian, Scotland is a beautiful village church which comes with a fascinating history and, over the years, a bewildering variety of names. Sometimes referred to as the Parish Kirk of Midcalder, it was until the Reformation known as St Cuthbert’s. At various times since it has been known as Calder Kirk and, briefly, St John’s to reflect local links with the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. The name “Kirk of Calder” dates back to a merger of congregations in 1956 and has a neatness that suits the building well. St Cuthbert’s Church was originally built on this site some time around 1150 and was among the properties granted to Dunfermline Abbey in the 1160s. In 1526, Peter Sandilands became Rector of the church. He was the younger son of the Sandilands family who had been granted the Barony of Calder and large estates in the area in 1348. The head of the family later became Lord Torphichen and acquired the lands of Torphichen Preceptory after the Reformation in 1563. The family seat was (and remains) at Calder House, very close to Mid Calder and the Kirk of Calder. By 1540 St Cuthbert’s was past its sell-by date and the Reverend Peter Sandilands had the church demolished to make way for a larger and more modern replacement. By 1542 it must have seemed to him that the rebuilding work would outlast him, because he left a highly detailed account of the way the church was to be completed for his nephew, Sir James Sandilands, together with the funds to allow it to happen. / / At the onset of the Reformation in 1560 only the choir and vestry of Peter Sandilands’ church had been completed, together with a lean-to school building that has since disappeared. His original plans provided for a much larger nave continuing to the west and a cloister to the north. Neither was ever built. For the next three hundred years the choir of the church served the needs of the local community, with multiple galleries inserted to try to fit an ever growing congregation into the relatively small space on offer. In 1863 the church was expanded with the addition of north and south transepts, turning it into the “T” shape then popular in Scottish churches. What emerged was pretty much what you see today. The Kirk of Calder’s story was not without incident. Perhaps the low point was in 1644 when the wave of witch-hunting sweeping across Scotland was taken up with enthusiasm by the Minister, Huw Kennedy. Several alleged witches were burned in Midcalder as a result. A more notable moment had occurred rather earlier, in 1556, when John Knox became a regular preacher following the Sandilands’ embracing of the Reformation. He probably preached in the partly completed new church.

Nestled in the trees in the shadow of the Castle, St. Cuthbert’s Church just off Lothian Road in Edinburgh, Scotland is a large and imposing structure. This view shows the Cupola closest to Princes Street on the corner of the church. There is another, identical Cupola on the other side of the building (the side nearest the Castle) as well as a spire at the other end of the church. Tradition has it that St. Cuthbert, the famed monk-bishop of Lindisfarne, stopped by the shores of the Nor’ Loch (a lake now replaced with Princes Street Gardens) just below Edinburgh Castle and built a little hut there. This is the site of St. Cuthbert’s Parish Church, whose current incarnation dates from the 19th century but is built over at least six earlier places of worship. The first record of St. Cuthbert’s Church in Edinburgh is in 1127, when King David I gave all the land below the Castle to St Cuthbert’s.
