Prestonkirk Parish Church, Medieval church building in East Linton, Scotland.

The Prestonkirk Parish Church features a square bell tower from 1631 and exhibits characteristics of Georgian architecture with its main structure dating from 1770.

The church site traces its origins to Saint Baldred of Tyninghame who established religious activities in this location during the 6th century.

The churchyard contains memorials of notable figures including Andrew Meikle, inventor of the threshing machine, and agricultural pioneer Patrick Shirreff.

The former manse stables underwent renovation in 1996 to create a church hall that serves current community gatherings and activities.

The medieval chancel stands as one of the most substantial examples of 13th-century church architecture remaining in the Lothian region.
