Let's return to our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, Liberton Kirk in Edinburgh, for a late evening #SteepleSaturday virtual visit.

This beautiful Georgian kirk was designed by James Gillespie Graham, on the site of a much earlier Christian church, utilising the remains of its demolished predecessor.

It's #FontsOnFriday time again, so here's the rather lovely carved oak example in our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, Liberton Kirk in Edinburgh

It was presented in 1930 by the children of the congregation and houses a much older pewter font bowl that may have come from the Georgian kirk's earlier pulpit

It's #AdoorableThursday, so let's head back to our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, Liberton Kirk in Edinburgh.

Its fabulous doors are all painted bright red, a much beloved feature of this Georgian church. Local rumour asserts that this colour was once chosen due to access to surplus GPO postbox paint!🖌️📮

Let's take a virtual wander inside Liberton Kirk, our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek and have a look at its pulpit for this week's #Woodensday.

The cabinet above the oak pulpit may look like an overly ornate sounding board or canopy, but it once housed the pipes for an expensive Ingram & Co organ.

Let's return to our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, Liberton Kirk in Edinburgh, for #TombTuesday.

This fine memorial to Sir John Baird, Lord Newbyth (1620-98), is located in the vestry, in what is said to be a converted family burial vault.

The Baird family's heraldic boar has been included at the top.

Sitting in a commanding position, overlooking the city of Edinburgh, is our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, Liberton Kirk. A church is thought to have been built here in 1143 by King David I.

But archaeological and documentary evidence suggests a church was founded here at least a century before.

Our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, Central Church in Edinburgh, has a vast and impressive interior. The balcony level was partitioned in 1936 by the firm of Maclennan and Cunningham and the interior still possesses significant high-end early-20th century artistic details.

Let's return to our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek St Margaret's Scottish Episcopal Church, in Newlands, Glasgow for #FontsOnFriday.

Here's their beautiful marble baptismal font, carved in Italian marble by the Glasgow firm of monumental stonemasons Galbraith & Wilson and dedicated in 1912.

It's #AdoorableThursday and this might be the first revolving door (or "storm door") that we have shared.

This lovely vintage example, intended to ensure as little heat as possible is lost from within, is located at our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St. Margaret's Episcopal Church, Newlands, Glasgow.

The heavily European-influenced basilica church, our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Margaret's, Newlands, possesses an apse at each end of the building, the ceilings of which are decorated with exquisitely colourful mosaics.

In the western apse this was by sculptors Galbraith & Winton, in 1921

We have another mosaic to share with you today from our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Margaret's Episcopal Church in Newlands, Glasgow.

This glorious ceiling in the apse was designed by Powell & Sons of Whitefriars in 1927. It shows Christ surrounded by the Evangelists and Seraphim.

#TilesOnTuesday

At our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Margaret's, Newlands, Glasgow, the floor has a marvellous mosaic. It was laid in 1958 to celebrate the church's 50th anniversary. The mosaic shows children, plus their playthings, and represents children from past congregations.

Sitting on a prominent elevated position in Glasgow’s south side, is our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Margaret's Newlands.

Just before #FontsOnFriday comes to an end, here's the lovely example from our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Mary's Scottish Episcopal Church Aberfoyle.

You can find out more about this beautiful church on our website here 👇

Our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Mary's Episcopal, Aberfoyle, has a fine interior.

Eyes are immediately drawn to the striking arched timber roof. Also, the carved oak-panelled reredos, installed in 1950, but bearing the date 1683, is worth mentioning on #WoodensDay.

A picturesque Arts & Crafts treasure by James Miller, within a garden, is our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Mary's Episcopal, Aberfoyle.

It was built in 1893, by workers from the local slate quarry using stone from Ailsa Craig brought by rail to test the weight capacity of the new branch line.
