Old St. Peter's Kirk I checked into a huge students' and backpackers' hostel in Thurso. I talked to two guys in the sitting room there. One had been staying there four days for his job relocation, and the other one had been staying there for over 2 years, "in order," he said, "to make his fortune". It was getting quite cold and wet. I painted Old St. Peter's Kirk with its well-preserved stone tracery on the advice of the tourist information office.
