Portobello & Joppa Parish Church

Portobello and Joppa Parish Church was finished in 1877.� Designed by John Honeywell �after the style of 12th-century Gothic or Early English�, it is an excellent example of his work.� Its 165ft. spire, a distinguishing landmark in Portobello and Edinburgh, is visible for miles.� Renovation after a fire in 1998 has blended traditional features with wood, brass, striking colours and vibrant stained-glass windows.� The north and south windows, designed by Douglas Hogg and installed in 2002, have won a Saltire Art and Architecture Award.�
