The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) MLA Patsy McGlone said it's important to improve road safety for children in memory of Caitlin-Rose.

"This is one of the great places of pilgrimage in literary Scotland," he said."It's not only fixed forever in our cultural history as an essential co-ordinate point in the biography of one of our greatest writers, but it's also a key reference point in his greatest novel."

Scott Lyall, an associate professor of Modern and Scottish Literature at Edinburgh Napier University, described the church as a site of "genuine importance to Scotland's literary heritage".Prof Lyall said: "The minister at the end of Sunset Song, in tribute to the local fallen war dead of World War One, indicates that we must remember the past and the dead to better understand our present condition and build a better future."It would be a sad irony then if the church, with its own long history, were to be neglected.

"It would be wonderful to see it as a cultural heritage site with Gibbon's life and reputation at its centre."The Church of Scotland said it expected the main church building would go up for sale later this year.

Its congregation for Sunday services is small, in what is a quiet rural area of just a few hundred people.

The kirk hopes nearby Bervie Church will serve as the main focus of local worship.What also has not helped is the suspicion around foreign graduates. Beijing has ramped up warnings of foreign spies, telling civilians to be on the lookout for suspicious figures.

In April, prominent Chinese businesswoman Dong Mingzhu told shareholders in a closed-door meeting that her company, home appliance maker Gree Electric, will "never" recruit Chinese people educated overseas "because among them are spies"."I don't know who is and who isn't," Ms Dong said, in comments that were leaked and went viral online.

Days later, the CIA released promotional videos encouraging Chinese officials dissatisfied with the government to become spies and provide classified information. "Your destiny is in your own hands," the video said.The suspicion of foreigners as the US and China pull further away from each other is a surprising turn for many Chinese people who remember growing up in a very different country.
