St Andrew's Church, St Andrew Place, Edinburgh

St Andrew's Church, built by John and James Rutherford between 1826 and 1827, is a small, three-bay rectangular classical church located in St Andrew Place, Edinburgh. The church is constructed of cream sandstone with a polished ashlar front, while the rear and sides are made of coursed and squared rubble with stugged dressings. It features a base course, shallow angle pilasters, a broad frieze, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course.

The northeast front elevation has a slightly advanced center bay with a pedimented tetrastyle Ionic portico. The doorway includes a shouldered architrave, a two-leaf panelled door, and a plate glass fanlight, flanked by blind niches. The ground floor windows of the outer bays are blocked and have shouldered architraves with blank aprons, while there are small blind windows above.

On the southwest rear elevation, there is an eaves band and a tall round-arched tripartite window, with the center light bricked-up. The outer lights have a center mullion and an oculus, along with remains of non-figurative stained glass at the head of the left window.

The northwest elevation features four bays with single windows that are boarded and bricked up, having shallow segmental-arched heads at both ground and gallery levels. The southeast elevation mirrors this design.

The church has a shallow slate roof and round-arched bipartite timber frames on the side elevations. Inside, there are curved gallery stairways with timber handrails leading to the vestibule, a curved north wall in the main hall, and an impressive queenpost timber roof. The galleries have been removed, the walls stripped, and the gallery doors blocked.
