Description
The Tron Kirk - west wall, leaded stained-glass window.
The Kirk gets its name from the salt-tron, a public weighing beam once located outside the church.
Constructed between 1636 and 1647 to a T-plan design by John Mylne, Royal master mason and one of the last masters of the Scots-Mannerist style. The design mixed Palladian and Gothic elements including a number of details with a contemporary Dutch influence.
The kirk was founded by King Charles I to house the congregation displaced from nearby St Giles when he made that church a cathedral.
