Old photograph of the Parish Church in Lasswade, Midlothian, Scotland. The old parish church was built in the 13th century, though little of it today survives. It was abandoned in 1793 and much of its ruins collapsed in 1866. The 17th century Scottish poet, William Drummond of Hawthornden was buried within its grounds. The current Lasswade Parish Church building was originally built for the former United Presbyterian Church, later United Free Church, which became part of the Church of Scotland in 1929,
