Before you read this review you should know a couple of things. I'm not a church going man. Quite…read morethe opposite. Not that I have a problem with religion, but it's just not for me. So I'm not reviewing this as a place to worship, but as a music venue. During the Fringe Pilrig St. Paul's put gigs on in the intimate 100 seater venue in the church hall, which they call 'Pilrig Studio'. And what a place to watch music. If you've ever been to the Oran Mor in Glasgow you'll know what I'm talking about. Music takes on an ethereal, other-worldly quality in a place like this. They also put various plays on. This year sees the return of the brilliant American High School Theatre Festival, among others. Well worth a visit, even if it's just to take in the surroundings.

St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral sits at the west end of Palmerston Place, a wide attractive Edinburgh New Town thoroughfare named after Viscount Palmerston, a former prime minister, and University of Edinburgh graduate who died in 1865. Building has three tall spires which reach up over the city skyline, meaning that the cathedral can be seen from a variety of viewpoints and outlooks in the city. But the building itself is often overlooked by visitors, perhaps because it's a little further from the traditional tourism area of the Old Town. The central spire of Scott's church is 90m tall, making it the tallest structure in Edinburgh city centre, and the two shorter spires added to the western end of the building later became known locally as Barbara and Mary, after the Walker sisters themselves.

Located right next to the equally famous Linlithgow Palace is St Michael's Church, one of the…read morelargest "burgh churches" in Scotland, and regarded as one of the finest. The Church that stands today was built in the 1100s but was greatly damaged in the 1424 fire that also destroyed the Palace. It also has some major 19th century renovations too. Like many places around Edinburgh, Cromwell stabled his horses inside and much damage was done to the interior. Despite all this, the Church is a great example of an early and late medieval burgh building. This is also where Mary Queen of Scots was christened and, I believe, where her father James V was crowned. The church has a very distinctive modern steeple, which resembles crisscrossing metal spikes. Reactions to this contemporary addition are mixed. Its actually supposed to resemble Christ's crown of thorns. No matter your feelings, its certainly interesting and a great talking point. The Church is certainly worth at least a quick look around, especially if you're on your way to the Palace. Its the sort of place that has so much concentrated history its quite hard to believe. It's also a popular venue for weddings and other services.
