Tour Scotland Video Interior Parish Church Dundee


Tour Scotland video of the interior of St. Mary's Parish Church, Dundee, Scotland. Dundee played an important role in the Reformation, and John Knox asserts in his History of the Reformation that " the first face of a public church Reformed " was that of St Mary's in Dundee, by 1556. 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.
