Notes |
As with many churches, Murrayfield
is situated on a corner site. In this case, Abinger Gardens runs
along the front (south side) and Ormidale Terrace up the west
side of the building. Abinger Gardens is an elevated terrace
which runs close and parallel to Corstorphine Road - the road
from the city centre towards Glasgow - and is near to the world-famous
Murrayfield Stadium. The site had been bought in 1899, and services
in a temporary wooden building started in 1900. In 1905 the foundation
stone was laid for the present building, and the nave and south
transept were finished the following year, whereupon the church
was dedicated and services started. The chancel, north transept,
vestry, and other parts of the church were added from 1929-31.
The congregation has always been Church of Scotland. |
