Looking for medieval architecture in the parish churches of Dunblane and Dunkeld dioceses

Professor Richard Fawcett, St. Andrews

It is almost possible to discribe his lecture as an interactive one, because there were a lot of photos that accompanied his talk.  They are the best ones, because they keep people interested and very occupied in following what the lecturer is describing.  In these two dioceses they were focusing there were 105 parish churches and they were trying to determine how many of the retained medieval fabric (pre-Reformation).
His choice of visual aid was a collection of photos of the parish churches they were examining and indicating to us what their findings showed. The talk was very enlightening and entertaining as it was almost a forensic criminal investigation of medieval material and we were the detectives.  It was great fun in trying to be a step ahead of him and try to see what he was going to indicated as the proof of early building from the photos that continued to pop up.  He was clear and informative and managed to invoke the interest of every one in the room and that is not always easy.
