Crichton Collegiate Church

[1] On 26 December 1449, William Crichton, 1st Lord Crichton opened the church "Out of thankfullness and gratitude to Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Kentigern and All Saints", with the consent of his son, James of Frendraucht and confirmed on the 29 December by James Kennedy, Bishop of St Andrews.

[2] The church was built in a Gothic and Romanesque cruciform style with a large central tower;[3] the nave was used as the place of worship for the poor people.

During the Scottish Reformation of 1560 the glass was taken from the windows, the floor converted back to earth and the medieval stone tracery destroyed.

The Trust restored the organ, stained glass windows, lighting, walls, roof and the tower in 1998.

It is used for Christian weddings and funerals, instrumental and choral concerts,[1] other cultural events[7] and is available for visiting.
