A classic example of the late Gothic revival on the north edge of the South Inch. When I used to drive through Perth many years ago, I mistakenly assumed from a distance that this must be the burgh's historic parish church, doubtless misled by the remarkable crown spire which reminded me of St. Giles in Edinburgh and which I assumed to be from the same period - testament to the historical authenticity of the design by London architect, John Stevenson. In fact, the church dates from 1885.
