Summary

Ruins of the Caledonian Church, Inverbrackie. The church was opened in 1848, and closed in 1878, because it "had proved too small and uncentral". The congregation was moved to the new Scotch Church, Woodside, which was bought from the Lutherans, and named St. Johns Presbyterian Church. A similar photograph of the ruins can be viewed at SRG 123/348/43. A note on the back of the photograph states: "Ruins of the Caledonian Church situated in Inverbrackie Valley (about a mile south of Woodside). Photographed in 1900. Church erected in 1848. Fire caused in March 1912 by an employee of one of the Adelaide monumental yards who had been sent up to cut an additional inscription on a headstone at the back of the church and whose pipe, while he was asleep, set alight to the surrounding grass. [Letter from Mr A Thomson of Woodside, June 23, 1932]". The photograph shows the ruins completely covered by creepers.
