St. Cuthbert Church - Edinburgh

My pictures on St. Cuthbert's Church

St. Cuthbert was a 7th century monk and bishop of Northumbria. His origin is believed to be near Firth of Forth, near Edinburgh.

The present church building was finished in 1894, and six previous buildings were found on the location.

The stained glass windows installed between 1893 and 1912.
