Night Life
Triple Kirks
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The Triple Kirks in Aberdeen, Scotland were built at the time of the Disruption of 1843 when the Free Church of Scotland (the Free Kirk) split from the Church of Scotland (the Kirk). The three churches were all part of a single building with a tall spire but they housed separate congregations. The East Free Kirk was completed 1843 followed by the West Free Kirk and South Free Kirk early the following year. From about 1966 the building progressively fell into disuse and became mostly ruinous but with the spire remaining. Many developments were planned for the site but, after the Secretary of State for Scotland required the spire to be kept, a block of flats called "The Point" was built with the spire protruding from the top.
