Thurso, Wilson Lane, Old St Peter's Church And Burial-ground, Medieval church ruins in Thurso, Scotland
The church structure measures 79 feet from east to west and 82 feet across, featuring a low vaulted apsidal cell at the eastern choir section.
Gilbert Murray, Bishop of Caithness, established St Peter's Church around 1220, which operated as the parish church until its closure in 1832.
The burial ground contains numerous gravestones from different periods, including a tablet with initials TW and GC dated 1357 in the western wall.
The site remains accessible throughout the day and night, though the structure lacks a roof and presents limited access for individuals with mobility requirements.
The church includes an uncommon three-story chancel and a staircase tower connected through a long vaulted passage with distinct architectural elements.
