Dunglass Collegiate Church, Medieval collegiate church in East Lothian, Scotland

The religious structure features pink sandstone walls, stone-slabbed roof, central tower, and vaulted ceiling within a landscaped parkland setting.

Sir Alexander Home established the collegiate church in 1423, arranging for priests to conduct prayers for the family souls before receiving royal approval in 1450.

The church maintained a college comprising a provost, three chaplains, and four boy choristers who performed religious services until the Scottish Reformation.

The church remains open throughout the year with free admission, though visitors should verify access as ceremonies might restrict entry at times.

The structure transformed from a religious institution to a farm building in the 1700s, with the farmer modifying the east window for vehicle access.
