North Esk Church Of Scotland, Bridge Street, Musselburgh

North Esk Church of Scotland, built in 1838 by William Burn, features a mix of Norman and late Gothic architectural styles. The church has a basically rectangular plan and is constructed from rubble, with a symmetrical ashlar gable front facing the street. The central gable includes three advanced stepped lights that rise into an octagonal base for a circular arcaded bellcote, topped with a conical stone roof and cross finial.

Flanking the central gable are lower stair hall towers, each with a single window on the front and semi-elliptically arched doors. The structure includes angle buttresses and a flat-roofed vestibule that is positioned between the towers, which projects forward into a buttressed porch featuring a semi-elliptically arched doorway. The doors have two orders of shafts, and the windows and bellcote are designed with similar detailing.

The flank elevations consist of two tiers with four bays, showcasing simple chamfered openings and a slate roof. Inside, the church has a tunnel-vaulted ceiling finished in plaster with diagonal ribs, and transverse ribs that extend into the flat-ceilinged aisles above the wings of a horseshoe gallery. The interior includes several stained glass windows, with some made by A Ballantine and Gardiner, while the remainder features tinted glass.
