Dalmeny - Parish Church

Dalmeny - Parish Church
A wooden chapel to St Adamnon may have existed since the 8th century. This was replaced by a stone church around 1130. This church had three altars: to St Cuthbert, St Bridget and St Adamnon.

The church is considered to be the finest Norman Romanesque parish church still in use in Scotland. Its most notable feature is the decorated archway framing the small main entrance door on the south side. The single-aisled nave, chancel and apse are almost entirely 12th century.

I am grateful to the members of the parish for a very friendly welcome.
