The Tron Kirk

122 High Street
0131 225 8408

The Tron Kirk was originally built between 1636 and 1647 by John Mylne. It was truncated in 1785 when the South Bridge and Hunter Square were developed. The original spire was lost in the fire of 1824, and a new one was added to replace it in 1828. The local council took ownership in 1952 and in 1974, the remains of a 16th century close, Marlin's Wynd, were uncovered beneath the building, including shops and cellars, which can still be seen. Today the kirk is a visitor centre for the Old Town and hosts some exhibitions of Scottish art.
