The inclusion of this quote comes into greater focus when OJ makes the determination that the UFO is actually an alien descending upon the Earth to devour humans, horses, and other living creatures. “In fact we understand that for 50 years a spinster named Miss McGregor came from Dufftown to play the organ in the church.The specific quote is from the Book of Nahum, chapter three, verse six, " And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a spectacle". He added: “We also have a wonderful organ in the church and we are always looking for someone to come and play it. “In the future we would like to have a research centre, in order that people can find out about their ancestors an eventually we would like to have events and art exhibitions.” It wasn’t until scaffolding was placed in the church that the bible was found. We also host the annual carol service so it is used.
“The church is still used for weddings and funerals. Mr Andrews continued: “We took on the church as a charity in the midst of Covid, so we are still exploring how we can take the building forward. The church is also home to a “spectacular” stained glass window by renowned local artist Douglas Strachan. “Another project is to put a toilet in.” Plenty of ideas for future of church He said: “Since the charity was set up we have had various grants from the local wind farm trust – one of the projects was the ceiling and that is when the book was found. They looked after it for about 10 years, until December 2020 when they set up a charity for the church. Mr Andrews and his wife moved into the old manse shortly before the church was put up for sale. The inscription in the book reads “For Bella McGregor from Mother on her 12th birthday.” “Obviously I am not able to say when it became lodged up there – but I can only assume it was not too long after she received it in 1894.” “The bible was very dry and dusty but otherwise it was perfect, in a readable condition. “We imagined they were trying to throw it through the rafter and it became lodged there. “We have had a great time speculating that Bella threw it up there, or someone loon who took it off her and threw it up. Bella McGregor lost her bible sometime after 1984. In 2021 the church was taken over as a community building, and a charity board was put in place.Ĭhairman of St Andrew’s Kirk trustees Ted Andrews said: “The bible was found by the painter that was doing work to the arches of the church. To reach the high beam of the ornate church, scaffolding erected which is when the discovery was made. The bible, inscribed to 12-year-old Bella McGregor in 1894, was found when a painter went to do work on the ceiling of St Andrew’s Kirk in Glass, near Huntly. How it got there remains a mystery – but it is hoped that the ancestors of the original owner can be found.
