Overview

Historic Environment Scotland lists High Street, St Anne’s Church (Episcopal) (LB24828, Category B, 5 December 1977). The list describes a Gothic church in rubble with ashlar dressings: an aisleless nave running east–west, a truncated tower with pyramidal roof to the north at the crossing, a north-west porch and a small south-west chapel. An unexecuted Wardrop design of about 1886 was carried out by Anderson in 1890. St Margaret’s Chapel, set back from the west gable, is by Gilbert Ogilvie, 1919. The interior has a continuous nave and chancel, an open timber nave roof and a wagon roof to the chancel, an oak rood screen, and a Willis organ of 1896. Stained glass includes work of 1889–90 and later by Ballantine and Gardiner, Heaton, Butler and Bayne, and the Abbey Studio. Scotland’s Churches Trust also notes carved oak furnishings by Robert Lorimer. HES Category B listing cannot be stored on the list-entry field used for Historic England and Cadw URLs.
