St John's Kirk Of Perth, St John's Place, Perth

St John's Kirk of Perth is a cruciform church completed by 1448, featuring a 5-bay choir with clustered piers, clerestory, and aisles that still retain their original roof trusses. The church has a 5-bay nave with octagonal piers and aisles but no clerestory, along with transepts and the northwest Halkerston tower, which is actually a northwest porch with an upper chamber, dating from the late 15th century. The central tower, topped with a ribbed and leaded broach spire, was completed by 1511 and stands 155 feet high.

The north transept was shortened in 1823, and the upper part of the Halkerston tower was demolished. General repairs and the north and south doorways of the choir were made around 1827 by J Gillespie Graham. Further repairs to the choir occurred in 1893-1894 by A Heiton and A Grainger Heiton. A new roof and aisles were added to the nave, and the upper part of the Halkerston tower was rebuilt during a general restoration and complete refurnishing by Sir Robert Lorimer in 1926.

The church houses several bells, including Skelloch from 1400 and Curfew from 1506. It also features one of the earliest baptismal basins in Scotland, marked by David Gilbert, an Edinburgh goldsmith, made between 1590 and 1594. The stained glass includes the Macnab window by W Wilson and the East Window titled "Last Supper and Crucifixion" by Douglas Strachan, created around 1920, along with two windows by Marjorie Kemp from 1931 and 1933, and others by Ballantine, Stephen Adam, Meikle and Son, H Hendrie, and Louis Davis.
