CHURCHES & KIRKS
St Andrew’s Kirk Porch, near the Seabird Centre, is all that is left standing (but the original bell, which also rang in St Andrew’s Kirk, now sits, somewhat insignificantly given its 500-year history, beside the rear entrance to St Andrew Blackadder Church) of the once significant St Andrew’s Kirk dating back to the Middle Ages. In 1590 it was the scene of desecration by witches and warlocks who, encouraged by the devil, sought to raise up a storm to prevent King James VI returning from Denmark with his bride. There’s a scale model of the Auld Kirk in the museum on School Road.
St Andrew’s Kirk (ruin) and cemetery in Kirk Ports dates from 1664. It replaced the previous church which fell into the sea, partly due to erosion caused by the quarrying away of a volcanic outcrop of tufa, known as ‘the red leck’, for oven lining.
St Andrew Blackadder Church of Scotland, St Andrew Street, EH39 4NU. Tel: 01620 895233. Completed in 1883 in a sort of stripped-down revival-gothic style, this is the third St Andrew’s church in the town. Minister: Rev Neil Dougall.
Abbey Church of Scotland, 116 High Street, EH39 4HE. Tel: 01620 892800. Completed in 1868 in the pointed gothic style, the church probably derives its name because it is built on North Berwick Abbey lands. Minister: Rev Dr David J Graham.
