Trinity College Church

Trinity College Church was built in the 15th century and sat peacefully at the bottom of Calton Hill for 400 years. Then the railways arrived and the church was dismantled to make way for railway yards (!) at Waverley Station. Each stone was numbered (see picture) so it could be reassembled on another site, but it took 30 years of wrangling about where it should be sited and who should pay for it, and in the interim Edinburgh citizenry as "reacquired" most of the stones for themselves. What was rebuilt was the apse of the church and is the now the Brass Rubbing Centre just off the High Street.
