St Cuthbert's Church, Edinburgh, Parish church at Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland
The Renaissance and Baroque building features a prominent steeple, white marble communion table, and red marble pulpit with ornate relief carvings.
The church site dates from 1128 when King David I granted the land to Holyrood Abbey, with the current structure completed in 1894.
The interior displays a Tiffany stained glass window depicting David and Goliath, alongside ceiling paintings of the Four Evangelists by Gerald Moira.
The church conducts Sunday services at 10:30 AM, with additional communion services held in the Memorial Chapel on specific dates throughout the month.
The marble-lined Memorial Chapel, where author Agatha Christie married in 1930, contains World War I tributes inscribed without military rank distinctions.
