Fortrose Cathedral, The Black Isle, Scotland
A once very grand Scottish Cathedral stand roofless. Its heyday’s were in the 13th Century and no doubt none of those who worked and worship there could foresee that Oliver Cromwell would arrive on the scene in the 17th century and begin to rob the cathedral of stone and roofing materials.
Located on the Black Isle above the Moray Firth, and although an empty shell, Fortrose Cathedral stands proud in the centre of this ancient town of the same name. Still a majestic building and well worth a visit.

It is interesting how the eye tends to fill in the gap where the roof used to be!

I guess that is because the shot is 1 dimensional. When you are there in 3D it is very apparent there is a void !? 🙂

That was my first reaction too. I didn’t notice the missing roof until I read the heading. Great shot.

Sometimes you can fool the eye (or perhaps that should be brain that tells you buildings have roofs) but maybe my answer to Rainee is the correct one. 🙂
