Tour Scotland Christmas photograph of St. Mary's Parish Church, Dundee, Scotland. The church dates back to 1190, when it was founded by David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of William the Lion, King of Scots. The original buildings have not survived. In 1303 the church was burnt by an invading English army. Following a further invasion in 1547 the church was burnt down again. In the late Middle Ages, Dundee's was the largest parish church in Scotland with, in the Old Steeple, the tallest tower. In 1841 the City Churches were again destroyed by fire. In the 1870s Sir George Gilbert Scott was employed to remodel St Mary's, creating the present Victorian Gothic Revival interior.
