Church Overview

A shrine of the Anglo-Catholic movement in Scotland. The church was mostly built in 1867 but the west end was not completed until 1876 and the Lady Chapel added in 1897, all to designs by Robert Rowand Anderson. Austere Gothic externally but the interior is a magnificently spacious setting for a sumptuous display of furnishings, including an elaborate Spanish pulpit of c.1600, carved and painted altarpieces by William Burges 1867, Hamilton More-Nisbet 1901, and by C E Kempe 1889. Extensive collection of stained glass with windows by Wailes, Clayton & Bell, Kempe, and Sir Ninian Comper. Organ originally by Forster & Andrews, installed in 1992.
