🏰One of the best examples of a Medieval Church in the Hebrides.. also has some rude carvings! 🏰The church itself is truly a hidden gem, like stepping back in time. The Sheela na Gig carving is fascinating.. usually seen in Ireland with a few across the UK, this is one example. Thought to either represent fertility or to guard from evil spirits and may have Pagan roots. #history #folklore #isleofharris #medieval #sheelanagig | Emily in Scotland

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Rt Rev Rosie Frew, welcomes the start of #Advent. "This Advent take time to be still, to remember, to read from Scripture what it's all about, what it is we're preparing for. A Saviour has been born for you in humble surroundings away from home, welcomed by strangers. God's greatest gift. God's perfect gift. For you, for me. A child who brings peace and hope." #PeaceIgiveyou | Church of Scotland
