This is happening all over Scotland because of dwindling numbers attending church these days.

I enjoyed reading the article.

My daughter has worked for the C of S for 40 years and says things are dire with them financially. Hence the need to sell churches.

St Monans in Fife is an example of this and a Community buy out. Lots of fundraising events to raise the money.
