Artist's Description
The construction of the Collegiate Church of St Mary and St Ann in Trongate is believed to have commenced in the 1480s. It became the Tron Kirk or Laigh Kirk after the Reformation (the former name referred to the fact that the city's tron, or public weighing machine, had been sited there).
The tower was built in c1593 and its steeple added in the 1630s.
In 1793 the old church building was destroyed by a fire started by members of the notorious Hell Fire Club, a group of young men who supported the radical political views of Thomas Paine (although the fire was almost certainly the result of a drunken prank, not a political "statement").
The tower and steeple survived and in 1855 arches were built in the base of the former, to permit the pavement in the widened Trongate to pass under it.
About Yvonne Johnstone
Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter. I enjoy finding the beauty in even the most mundane subjects and the challenge of depicting the small details which are sometimes overlooked.

I do not restrict myself to any particular style or media as this gives me the freedom to create my vision on each individual piece. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries as much as I have enjoyed creating the works. Copyright © Yvonne Johnstone 2024. All rights reserved. All artwork in this gallery is original and uniquely...
