A fine tramp into the "Covenanter Glen" yesterday evening...
Glen Vale sits to the south of West Lomond in Fife, and was reputedly used by the local adherents to the faith to hold secret, outdoor services...
Ahead on the left lies the sandstone outcrop known as John Knox’s Pulpit. Covenanters gathered here in secret in order to avoid persecution, imprisonment and the unwarranted death sentences often handed out by the Dragoons under command of "Bluidy Clavers" (or "Bonnie Dundee" depending on your viewpoint).
It is said that an angel with a drawn sword appeared above the Pulpit to protect the minister on one occasion...
Must return with a wider lens...
