"It‘s 8 tribute to those whose ialth made it possible. as well as to give thanks all the present time." said Beatrice Scott. one of two Port Eigln sisters who are involved with a committee at area residents repairing and rsdecoratlng the tiny Dunbiaric Presbyterian church. Beatrice and her sister. .lcan. are the grandchildren oi Robert Scott. who donated the land to the congregation In the late 1550s Four generations at Scolts have at- tended the church, running down in the morning beiore the service to start the woodstbvs. and during the service. sitting in the back new or the church that gave them a clear View across the iields in their home.

The church nae-dad extensive repairs and unless the money could be raisr ed, the alwaysopen doors would have to be shut tor good. “We tell it would be ashame to let it go," said Jean Scott. sitting In one of the hand- carved pews made for the church by her great-uncle years ago. "it was very close to us." said Jean. For the Scott sisters. the church is a lirtk with their iamin and their religion that would be too strong to relinquish.
