Park Church760 viewsOriginally built for the Free Church at the corner of Charlotte Street and East King Street, this building opened in 1863.

Consequently it closed its doors to worship in 2015, but the following year the building became the Buddhist Meditation Centre of Scotland. Photo by Professor John Hume.
