About St Andrew's Old Kirk
The St Andrew’s Kirk lies behind North Berwick High Street and adjacent to the Lodge grounds. Now a roofless ruin this Church was built between 1658 and 1664 as a replacement to the original church. The tower was added onto St Andrew’s Kirkports in 1771 and the long disused Kirk bell was rung again. For many years the Kirk remained as a picturesque ruin as was envisaged by the last congregation but by 2009 the distinctive bell shaped roof of the tower became unsafe and had to be removed.Address : 27 Victoria Rd, North Berwick EH39 4JL, UK
