We got into the church, and closed the door behind us, only to find that... THERE WAS NO HANDLE INSIDE THE CHURCH!! Now, the thought of being stuck overnight in an ancient church filled with carved sarcophogi and dead bodies held no fear for me. The horror of having to phone Historic Scotland for help... That was terrifying. Could you imagine the headline in the local papers? Archaeologist got more than she bargained for when trapped for hours in South Lanarkshire church...
Luckily, my husband managed to footer around with the door mechanism and get us out... But it was, um, interesting...
