Tundergarth Kirks Iconic Sites

Three miles from Lockerbie’s High Street is the Tundergarth Kirks site which overlooks the field where the nose cone of Pan American flight 103 fell to Earth. At this revered site are three iconic, historic buildings: a stately Gothic church, formerly of the Church of Scotland that dates to 1900; the stone ruin of an auld Celtic kirk that dates to 1771; 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 on Pan Am 103 in December 21, 1988.

The site's 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's 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." They can write and read tributes in the massive, leather guest book that has acquired thousands of messages from visitors around the world, since the Remembrabce Room opened in 1990. 

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