Tundergarth Church

Tundergarth Kirks Iconic Sites

Less than three miles from Lockerbie’s High Street sits a revered site that looks out over the field where the wreckage of the nose cone of Pan American flight 103 plummeted to the ground. Contained therein are three iconic historic buildings: a stately 1900 Gothic structure formerly a Church of Scotland; a stone ruin of an auld 1771 Celtic Kirk, and the Lockerbie Air Disaster Remembrance Room which serves as a place to learn about the 270 individuals killed as a result of the terrorist attack of December 21, 1988.

The graveyard holds the remains of generations of local residents, going back to Roman and Viking times, who lie at rest alongside three of the terrorist bombing victims: John Binning Cummock, Helga Rachael Mosey and Tomas Floro Van Tienhoven.
 

Remembrance Room visitors can read about the victims in the book "On Eagles' Wings." Additionally, visitors can sign and read tributes in the massive leather guest book containing over fifty thousand messages left by visitors and mourners from around the world, since it opened in 1990. 

This historic Tundergarth community site is now open to the public for worship services, cultural events, concerts, performances, and educational programs.
