Kelso Old Parish Church

Title

Kelso Old Parish Church

Description

Unusual octagonal two story church with a central lantern. Not long after it was completed, the church was described, somewhat unfairly, as �a misshapen pile, having the peculiarity of being, without exception, the ugliest and least suitable in architecture of all parish churches in Scotland � but is an excellent model for a circus�. The parish church had previously occupied part of the Abbey following its dissolution.
