Saint Stephen's Church With Music On History Visit To Edinburgh Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the exterior of Saint Stephen's Church, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Edinburgh, Britain, United Kingdom. The church is located in the New Town of Edinburgh, at the bottom of Saint Vincent Street. It was built in 1827 and 1828, to a design by architect William Henry Playfair, born 1789, died 1857. The first minister of the church was William Muir, who opened an evening school in the large vaulted cellars of the church for the education of the illiterate. The 162 feet high tower has the longest clock pendulum in Europe. The exterior is basically square, but diagonally built with a corner facing the street, to which the cavernous arched porch entrance is attached.
