Known locally as the 'green church', St. Nicholas's was built in the 13th century. It was extensively rebuilt and remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries. The church spire is green because it was originally made from copper, which we now know turns green after time from oxygen in the air The parish church of Saint Nicholas was built in the 13th century and like parish churches in many ports it is dedicated to the patron saint of sailors. Known affectionately as “the Green Church,” it once had three chantry chapels. The churchyard has graves dating back to 1536 and a memorial to the Scottish poet Robert Burns, whose sister, Agnes Galt, is buried there. The church was extensively rebuilt and remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries, and again by Francis Johnston in the 19th century, so that only the nave and tower date from the mediaeval period. In 1954, a side chapel under the gallery in the south transept was set aside to commemorate a former rector, the Revd JJ McClure, and was dedicated to Saint Richard The cache is a nano container (slightly larger than the typical nano) hidden just across the road from the church. Contains log only so please byop this is an extremely busy part of the town so dicretion will be essential to protect the cache from muggles
