Description
St Ninian's and St Triduana Roman Catholic Church, built in 1933 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, showcases a Modern Scottish Gothic style. The church features a nave with blind aisles and side chapels at the center. The exterior is constructed from snecked Craigmillar rubble with Darney and Blaxter dressings, and there is a brick and timber extension to the east.
On the western side, the main body of the church includes a nave without a clerestorey, and the blind aisles extend westward beyond the nave gable, forming porches. The transept is designed as side chapels with paired three-light cusped windows, while the porches have plain bipartite windows. A prominent west window features six lancets with intersecting tracery and a thick center mullion.
To the east, the nave decreases in height and has three-light windows with splayed reveals on the north and south sides. The church continues eastward with a brick and timber construction, topped with a double pitch roof that has a cat-slide. The nave has a double pitch roof, while the chapels and aisles have single pitched roofs, all adorned with crowsteps and covered in grey/green slate.
Inside, the aisles are arcaded with segmental pointed arches that spring from stone piers with rounded ashlar half-column dressings. The roof is made of oak, and the walls are plastered.
The church is surrounded by rubble stone boundary walls to the north, east, and west, with wrought-iron gates located to the north.
