Having been deprived of their places of worship by the establishment
of Presbyterianism in the late 17th century, and practically outlawed for some
time thereafter, Scottish Episcopalians had in many cases to wait until the
19th century before being able to build themselves suitable places of worship.
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Edinburgh undertook to build such a new
church in the 1850's, and settled on a fashionable Scottish neo-gothic design
by Slater of London, as discussed — and as
prettily
illustrated by two lithographs — in this report and
fundraising scheme presented by the building committee.
