Title

St Margaret's Episcopal Church, Braemar

Description

St Margaret's Episcopal Church, a grade A listed building, is considered to be one of Scotland's finest churches. It stands on a prominent raised site in the village of Braemar. It was built by Sir John Ninian Comper from 1899 to 1907 in the Gothic Revival style. The exquisite interior has many beautiful stained-glass windows and a beautiful intricately carved rood screen. There is also a chancel area. Comper is regarded as the most important British church architect of the 20th century. He was also an expert stained glass designer, creating windows for Westminster Abbey and churches in India, China, and America. St Margaret's is considered to be one of the finest examples of his work and is Category A listed. The SRCT is working with a group from the local community to repair and regenerate the building as a unique venue for the performing and visual arts in Royal Deeside. There will be guided tours up onto the tower to view the stunning surrounding landscape of the Cairngorms running from 11am - 1.00 pm both days.
