St Mary's Collegiate Church, Haddington, Gothic church in Haddington, Scotland

St Mary's Collegiate Church extends 206 feet from east to west, making it the longest religious building in Scotland with pointed arches and stone vaults.

The construction of this religious monument started in 1380 and continued through the 15th century, following the architectural standards of medieval Scottish buildings.

The church choir performs during morning services, presenting compositions ranging from traditional Scottish songs to contemporary religious music by different composers.

The building contains modern facilities, an ecumenical chapel, and a separate area dedicated to the Maitland family mausoleum on the northern side.

Eight new bells installed in 1999 returned sound to the church tower after 451 years of silence, marking a significant change in the structure.
