Salsburgh, Hirst Road, Kirk Of Shotts, Category B listed church and cemetery in Salsburgh, Scotland
The Kirk of Shotts consists of a church building with an adjacent cemetery, positioned on Hirst Road in North Lanarkshire's rural landscape.
The current church structure, completed in 1821 for £2,270, replaced an earlier building that dated back to 1450 when it was known as Saint Catherine's Chapel.
The cemetery contains grave markers from 1624, recording generations of local families and providing insights into the area's Presbyterian heritage through the centuries.
The church remains visible from the M8 motorway between Glasgow and Edinburgh, with night illumination making it a recognizable landmark for travelers.
A natural spring called Saint Catherine's Well, dating from the 14th century, sits near the church grounds, connected to tales of a local giant.
