Polmont Parish Church

This Romanesque church with its two eastern clasping towers is a familiar sight to travellers of the adjacent M9 motorway.

It is claimed to be the only parish church in Scotland with two towers and was built in 1840 to a design by Edinburgh architect John Tait. Two stained glass windows facing the horseshoe gallery, donated by the Salvesen family, have recently been cleaned.

The graveyard has two Adam and Eve stones, as well as green men and trade symbols and an odd carving of a man lifting his head aloft. Amongst those buried here are First World War fighter ace John Morris and victims of the Redding Pit disaster in 1923.
