Dublin Core
Title
Greyfriars Tolbooth and Highland Kirk
Description
The Kirk plays an important part in Scottish history. In 1638 the National Covenant was presented and signed in front of the pulpit and in the mid-19th century the first post-Reformation stained glass windows and one of the first organs were introduced into a Presbyterian church in Scotland. Between 1929-38 the historic building was extensively restored and the interior dividing wall between the two former separate sanctuaries was removed. The Peter Collins organ was installed in 1990.
