St Mary's Church
Also known as The Priory Church of St Mary of Mount Carmel
Queensferry, City of Edinburgh, Scotland
The old 15th century church is part of the Scottish Episcopal Church. The church is one of the oldest intact churches in Scotland and was once part of the Carmelite monastery.
It was George Dundas of Dundas who first invited the religious order of the Carmelites to the Queen's Ferry about 1330 where, beginning with temporary buildings, they would have established a pattern of life revolving around daily worship, farming, teaching and hospitality.
In 1440, James Dundas confirmed to the Carmelite brothers a piece of land for the construction of a monastery. The current Priory church building dates from that time.
The Priory Church is located 10 miles West from the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland, between the landmark road and rail bridges which span the Firth of Forth.
