Geocache Description:

Part of the series of the churches in the town. Can be done as a cache n' dash or a walk round which would take 1-2 hours.

The present building dates to 1883 and is in the simple Early English Gothic style.   Located above the magnificent town hall, it has wonderful views out to the Forth and is itself a prominent sea-mark.  The tall angled buttressed tower with its crown spire dominates the area and acts as a beacon to ships and worshippers alike.  The main door is in the north gable under a pointed arch heavily carved with vines.   Above this is a tall plate traceried window with cusped lancets, trefoils and a vesica.   On entry there is a gallery stair to the left with an east gable.   There are three pairs of plain lancets to the nave.   The nave is three-bayed, arcaded, with galleries over the aisles and to the north.   The boarded roof is painted with flowers and stars.  The architects were McKissack and Rowan and the cost was £4,000.

Building Date: 1883.

The cache is a small round tub with room for a few small swaps. **********************Congratulations Original A1 on being FTF!***********************
