Reid Memorial Church, Category A listed church in Blackford, Edinburgh, Scotland
Reid Memorial Church features a cruciform structure with side aisles, a square tower at the southeast corner, and a cloister court containing multiple functional spaces.
The church, designed by architect Leslie Grahame Thomson, opened its doors in January 1935 following a construction period from 1929 to 1933.
Three chancel windows contain stained glass works by James Ballantine, depicting biblical sequences of the Nativity, Crucifixion, and Ascension.
The church maintains its position within a triangular area, bordered by West Savile Terrace to the north and Blackford Avenue to the south.
William Crambe Reid funded the entire construction through his estate, dedicating the building to the memory of his father in the Church of Scotland.
