Old photograph of St Baldred's Scottish Episcopal Church in North Berwick, Scotland. The original Norman style church by John Henderson in 1861 was cleverly extended in 1863 incorporating the old masonry by Seymour and Kinross, who also designed the altar. The porch with its magnificent carved doors was added by Robert Lorimer in 1916. North Berwick is a seaside town and former royal burgh in East Lothian. It is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, approximately 25 miles north east of Edinburgh. North Berwick became a fashionable holiday resort in the nineteenth century because of its two sandy beaches, the East, or Milsey Bay beach and the West Bay beach, and continues to attract holidaymakers. Golf courses at the ends of each bay are open to visitors.
