Duddingston Kirk, Parish church in Duddingston Village, Edinburgh, Scotland
The stone building features a square tower, round-topped doorway with Scoto-Norman carvings, and stained glass windows along its east-west axis structure.
Built in 1124 by Norman knight Dodin on land granted by King David I of Scotland to Kelso Abbey, the church received the Prestonfield Aisle addition in 1631.
The church maintains regular Sunday services at 10:30 AM and Wednesday services at 10:00 AM, continuing centuries of religious traditions in Edinburgh.
The Kirk Grounds remain open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with secure bicycle parking and accessible facilities for all visitors.
An octagonal gatehouse stands at the kirkyard entrance, constructed in the early 1800s to prevent body snatchers from stealing recently buried corpses.
