St Cuthbert's Parish Church, with Mrs Annette Brydon
St John the Evangelist, with Prof Adam Cumming
Edinburgh is replete with architecturally outstanding churches. Two of the finest stand side by side at the junction of Princes Street and Lothian Road. St Cuthbert's Parish Church (Church of Scotland) stands on a site that has had a Christian church for over 1000 years. The present building -- by Edinburgh architech Hippolyte Blanc -- was completed in 1892, but retains the 18th century spire. St John the Evangelist (Scottish Episcopal) was built in 1818 and is one of the finest examples of the work of the highly successful architect William Burn (1798-1870). The 2024 Edinburgh Festival of the Sacred Arts, in collaboration with Scotland's Churches Trust, offers a special opportunity to visit these churches with the help of expert guides. Each tour will take place twice 10.30-11.15 and 11.30 - 12. 15. Tickets cover admission to one or both.
