Title

St Margaret's Catholic Church

Description

St Margaret’s Catholic Church was built in the 1930s and replaced a Victorian corrugated iron building. A particular feature of the church is its Barnett & Sons stained glass windows. St Margaret’s has served the local Catholic community and the many visitors to South Queensferry for 135 years. The church has an interesting history tending to shale workers, builders of the Forth Bridges, navy staff from both World Wars and cruise ship visitors.

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

St Margaret’s church has been available to the international workforces who built the Forth Bridges; also the many sailors and travellers from around the world, especially during both World Wars, and now from cruise ships.
