Lady Glenorchy's Free Church, Greenside Place, Edinburgh
Lady Glenorchy's Free Church, Greenside Place, Edinburgh, Category C listed church building in Greenside Place, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The church presents a symmetrical neo-Perpendicular Gothic facade with a central four-stage tower, featuring Tudor arches and crenellated parapets throughout its structure.
The Free Church congregation purchased this site in December 1843 after their original chapel was demolished to accommodate the expansion of railway infrastructure.
The interior space includes classical design elements with cast-iron arcades and galleries, reflecting the architectural preferences of nineteenth-century Scottish ecclesiastical buildings.
Located at coordinates 55.956702, -3.185653, the church sits on a steep slope, resulting in side elevations that rise to five stories in height.
The pipe organ, installed during the 1893 renovations by George Washington Brown, remains a testament to the church's musical heritage and architectural evolution.
