Tron Kirk
Edinburgh
One of Edinburgh’s principal churches, completed in 1648, it is named after the public weigh beam or tron which stood nearby.
The church was once much larger, a section on each side was removed so that the South Bridge and Hunter Square could be built. Its original wooden steeple was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1824. The church itself survived and a new stone spire was built four years later.
