Unfortunately, I haven’t had any luck tracking down photos of specifically Highland gargoyles. So many of the gorgeous churches out there are in such a state of ruin that in most cases, whatever gargoyles they may have once had are now long gone. I did, however, find these pretty striking gargoyles on a more urban Scottish church – St. Giles in Edinburgh. I’m doing things a little differently today by including two photos. You may need to zoom in to get the full effect.

In the meantime, I would love more requests like Sara’s. I would also be happy to feature others’ gargoyle photos if they would be willing to share them.
