Crathie Kirk: Mountains and Majesty (2024x35)

Air date: Sep 08, 2024

Claire McCollum visits Crathie Kirk in the Cairngorms National Park to discover why this church and its beautiful Highland location, which is close to Balmoral Castle, is so beloved by locals, visitors and the royal family. Claire meets Crathie’s minister Rev Ken Mackenzie to soak up the scenery, and to explore the history of the church and his close relationship with the royal family through his role as their domestic chaplain. Claire meets a local ghillie on the River Dee to see how faith and fly-fishing can go hand in hand, before taking a walk through the Cairngorms with an award-winning Christian writer to compose a poem reflective of her time there.
