St Margaret's Scottish Episcopal Church, Easter Road, Edinburgh

St Margaret's Scottish Episcopal Church, located on Easter Road in Edinburgh, was designed by Hippolyte J Blanc in 1879, with a slightly later addition of the west transept. This small cruciform Gothic church features a finialed fleche at the crossing, a three-bay aisless nave with a lean-to narthex on the southwest, a piend-roofed polygonal apse, a transept to the west, and an eastern wing that forms a small school. The exterior is constructed of snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings, and it includes a moulded eaves course that is bracketed to the apse, as well as a cill course. The openings are hoodmoulded and pointed arched, with bays flanked by buttresses.

The west elevation, which is the principal facade, has a finialled gabled porch featuring griffin label-stops at the narthex. It displays a circular carved plaque with the date 1880 and initials "St P," along with a two-leaf timber-boarded door that has decorative cast iron hinges, set in a roll-moulded and stop-chamfered surround. To the right, there is a small lancet window, while the nave has paired lancets, and the returns of the west transept include a gable with a tripartite cusped window and a circular hoodmoulded vent above.

On the north elevation, the faceted apse has a piended roof at the center and features a triple-lancet window, with single lancets on the returns. A gabled porch is located on the outer right, containing a timber panelled door in a shoulder-arched, roll-moulded, stop-chamfered opening. The south elevation includes a tripartite window and a small pointed-arch vent at the gable apex. The windows are fitted with leaded glazing, and the roof is covered with graded grey slates and terracotta ridge tiles, with stone skews.

Inside, the church features semicircular arches leading to the transepts and paired lancets in arched recesses within the nave. The west wall is adorned with stained glass depicting Saints Margaret and Michael, created as a 1914-18 War Memorial by G Brodrick of Twickenham, alongside stained glass of Saints Andrew and Margaret by William Wilson from 1947. The interior is supported by a braced timber wagon-roof held up by carved corbels. Notable furnishings include a timber pulpit from 1818 with elaborate Gothic detailing, a timber side-altar featuring linen-fold panels and a carved reredos, and a timber panelled organ built in 1893 by Eustace Ingram, which was rebuilt by the same firm in 1945.
