Broken window at Kilchoman Church ruin, Isle of Islay

Picture of a broken window in the ruin of an old churchA rather sad detail from the ruin of Kilchoman Church. While some of the panes have survived despite being battered by the storms from both sides several of the panes have been broken. More worrying are the cracks in the wall, in particular above the window. Will the wall collapse soon?
