THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND

Situated at 121 George Street are the central offices of The Church of Scotland.

The Scandinavian-influenced designed buildings, built from 1909 – 1911, are the work of Scottish architect Sydney Mitchell (1856 – 1930)

Known informally by its Scots language name, The Kirk, The Church of Scotland is a Presbyterian church.

Having grown out of the Scottish Reformation - the formal break with the Papacy of 1560 – the church traces its roots back to the beginnings of Christianity in Scotland.
