I found myself at Destiny church as it was the venue of choice for a two-night run of my friend's…read moreplay 'What The Frack?' which she both wrote and directed. Cast aside any traditional conceptions you have of a church because: holy moly, this is no conventional place of worship. It's situated above a bingo hall and the church itself is an old cinema. You actually walk through the bingo entrance to get to the church. I was headed there on a Friday night, and so I was met with the bingo folks outside. No, you are not in the wrong place. - Head up the stairs on the far left. The church is a cinema, it really is. Snack bar area still intact, which they used for refreshments for the play, and one large cinema hall and stage with rows of seats. I can't describe it any other way than it really is a church in an old cinema hall, and it's refreshing to see a church as modern and unique as this. It's great that they were happy for the play to go ahead in the building. - It was just perfect for the occasion.

Either way, I get the feeling that this building would lend itself well to any occasion as it's just so very striking as it stands. But I'm thinking harps and doves...Such is the beauty of the Holy Rude! To spend any amount of time here, no matter the reason, is a treat. It really is stunning!

She's huge, beautiful and, most definitely a church that's well worth a visit when you're up the top o' the town, whether it's castle-visiting or a scenic wander that's on the agenda. Foodie tip: Pop over to John Cowane's Coffee House for lunch. They are the sweetest and you won't be disappointed!

This is an old historical church at the very top of the town…read more I have been here to see choirs perform, and it is a beautiful setting. Stirling Gaelic Choir perform here on occasion, and there is a christmas carol concert every year. Visiting choirs also do recitals here - keep an eye out for details on flyers in town! It would be nice to see this significant and beautiful building be used for more arts events. It is a shame to think of it lying empty six days a week.
