Every September you can explore hundreds of fascinating buildings across Scotland for free. Some open up once a year, some just once in a lifetime. As it is such a diverse region, the Highlands is split into three areas across three weekends. Inverness, the Black Isle, and Easter Ross is Weekend One (2nd and 3rd September), Caithness and Sutherland are Weekend Three (16th and 17th September) 

The theme for this year is ‘Living Heritage’ so the focus is on the crafts, traditions, and practices of the people of the Highlands – both past and present – and how these traditions continue nowadays. In that context, St Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Tain will be open on both days as follows:

• Saturday 2nd September – 10am until 4pm for visitors

• Sunday 3rd September – 10:30am until 12:30pm for worship and fellowship (visitors most welcome) and again 2pm – 4pm for visitors.

On both days, we will offer refreshments and the opportunity to look round the building either using a specially prepared guide booklet or by being shown highlights by a member of the congregation.

There is some very fine Stained Glass by Ballantine and Gardiner, A. L. Ward, W. Wilson and E. B. Souden

Mousey Thompson Furnishings

Our lovely unaltered 1914 C & F Hamilton (Edinburgh) organ
