The Tron Kirk

I ventured in here during the Fringe to see the Showhawk Duo — an incredible couple of guys who make acoustic guitars sound nothing like you’ve ever heard before, well worth checking out if you get a chance.
That, though is beside the point. This venue is INCREDIBLE. The sound was immaculate, the staff cheery and helpful, even near the end of a really busy Fringe day, and the actual venue… wow.
Stunning isn’t the word. I went in about 8.30, just with the sun going down and lighting up the beautiful stained glass windows — I can’t recall a gig venue like it that I’ve been too.
The fact that it was packed out with people in a great mood, and free to boot is another bonus. Highly recommended!

A historical church building, built in 1636, which is now only open through the summer. The entry is free and it is a great historical learning experience. You can see the excavated old town (Marlins Wynd) under your feet, read the history of edinburgh and some of the gory stories from the past. Learn about the shady characters that graced our streets and find lots of information on touristy things to do in Edinburgh. The stained glass windows look spectacular on a bright day.
