Tron Kirk, Parish church in Royal Mile, Edinburgh, Scotland
The Tron Kirk features a rectangular stone structure with a tower, clock, and spire reaching toward Edinburgh's medieval skyline.
Built between 1637 and 1647, the church served as Edinburgh's North-West parish after King Charles I ordered its construction for the new diocese.
The name derives from a public weighing beam located outside the building, where merchants measured goods and authorities punished minor criminals.
The former church building contains archaeological remains of Marlin's Wynd, the first paved street in Scotland, beneath its foundations.
The structure maintains one of only two remaining hammerbeam roofs in Scotland, with original timber work from the 17th century.
