A book could be written about the history of the Triple Kirks (the three separate Free Churches sharing a brick-built spire, which were designed by Archibald Simpson and rapidly built in the aftermath of the 1843 Disruption) but times have clearly moved on. Without any apparent irony the former East Free Kirk has been renamed the Triple Kirks bar, while the rest of the building is in ruins.
