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.

Designed in 1905 by J N Scott and A Lorne Campbell in the perpendicular style the church has Art Nouveau details.  The three stage tower contains the entrance under a square moulded hood.  

The tower is finished with a battlemented parapet and a green copper fleche.  An octagonal stair tower rises above the parapet with delicate Art Nouveau pedestals at each angle extending above the ogival roof.   There are wide perpendicular traceried windows in the gables containing stained glass.  The interior consists of a four-bay nave with a north gallery over the vestibule.  The latter is screened from the nave by wooden panelling with leaded glass; the doors having ornate brass handles.  Chamfered arcades provide aisles that merge into the transepts giving the church a cruciform plan.  The grand scale of St Andrew’s is evident immediately; however, it has lost none of its charm or sense of community.


Architect: JN Scott & A Lorne Campbell
Building Date: 1905

Parking available on the roadside. This cache does not contain a pen/pencil. There is also a small park here with swings and climbing frame. Great views also over the Forth. ***************************Congratulations Original A1 on being FTF!************************
