Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of the interior with beautiful stained glass windows in the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church on ancestry visit, genealogy, family history visit to Dunfermline, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Holy Trinity Episcopal Church is located a short distance north east of Dunfermline Palace and Abbey, close to the town centre. Holy Trinity was built to accomodate a growing congregation, who were meeting in a smaller building nearby, in 1891 by Edinburgh architect Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, who was born on 5 April 1834 in Liberton, Edinburgh and was a Scottish Victorian architect. Anderson trained in the office of George Gilbert Scott in London before setting up his own practice in Edinburgh in 1860. The new church was largely funded by local mill owner Erskine Beveridge who was born on 27 December 1851and was a Scottish textile manufacturer, historian and antiquary. He was the owner of Erskine Beveridge & Company. Ltd., which had been founded by his father in 1832 and was the largest linen manufacturer in Dunfermline, Fife, he died on 10 August 1920. The Scottish Episcopal Church is a member of the Anglican Communion, and thus a sister church of the Church of England, the Church of Ireland and the Church in Wales, and of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
