Barclay Viewforth Church, Gothic Revival church in Bruntsfield, Scotland.
The church features a heart-shaped auditorium with two tiers of galleries, accommodating up to 1,200 worshippers beneath a painted ceiling and beamed roof structure.
Construction began in 1862 using a £10,000 bequest from Miss Mary Barclay of Carlton Terrace, with the first service held on December 23, 1864.
The building serves both the local Church of Scotland congregation and houses the Edinburgh Chinese Christian Church for Cantonese-speaking worshippers.
Regular services take place every Sunday at 10:30 AM and 6:30 PM, with additional social gatherings featuring tea, coffee, and refreshments after the evening service.
The church spire reaches 250 feet in height, positioning it among the tallest ecclesiastical structures in Edinburgh's architectural landscape.
