St Drostan's belongs to the Scottish Episcopal Church. It is a difficult church to photograph well, because it is hemmed in by other buildings and its main elevation faces north. This is the south elevation, which is the rear of the building, seen from the storage area of Thistle Marine next door. The church dates from 1851 and his notable stained glass windows. St Drostan, to whom it is dedicated, was a contemporary of St Columba. For information about him see http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/people/famousfirst97.html
