St Andrews Holy Trinity Church is a wonderful old church, inside and see the Sharpe Isle, ornaite pulpit and the stain glass windows a truly wonderful place to visit. The oldest part beeing The Clock Tower. Holy Trinity Church St Andrews Holy Trinity Church South St St Andrews The Holy Trinity Church originally stood close to St Andrews Cathedral built in 1144. It has been in its present position in South Street since 1412. Originally served by Roman Catholic priests it changed with the Reformation in 1559 to Protestant and Episcopalian priests. Since 1689 the ministers have been Presbyterian. Original Remains of Church The Tower and two interior arches are the only original parts of the church from 1412 that remain. 1907 the church was demolished and rebuilt to the previous medieval church’s footprint and rededicated on St Andrews Day in 1909. John Knox Porch John Knox the founder of the Presbyterian denomination in Scotland preached here in 1559. A commemoration to him is in the form of the John Knox Porch. The porch inscription reads: ‘In this town and church began God first calling to the dignity of the preacher’. Knox said farewell to St Andrews on 17th August 1572, three months before his death. It was in this church, and not in the cathedral, that he preached on 11th June 1559 on Jesus’ ejection of the buyers and sellers from the temple and thus inaugurated the Reformation acts and proceedings in Scotland. John Knox First Public Sermon In 1547 Holy Trinity was the scene of the first public sermon of the famous reformer, John Knox. He also preached in Holy Trinity in 1559, instructing residents of St Andrews to purge the city of "monuments of idolatry". Inspired by Knox's the local population rejected Catholicism, tore down statues and altars, and sacked St Andrews Cathedral. Holy Trinity Pulpit The pulpit is made of marble, alabaster and onyx, and is carved with the initials of the Holy Trinity ministers who have been Church of Scotland moderators. Erected in memory of Dr A K H Boyd, Minister of the First Charge from 1865 to 1899 and Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1890.

Burns Supper Address to a Haggis j Robert Burns Poetry Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o’ the puddin’-race! Aboon them a’ ye tak yer place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye wordy o’ a grace As lang’s my airm The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin wad help to mend a mill In time o need, While thro your pores the dews distil Like amber bead. His knife see rustic Labour dicht, An cut you up wi ready slicht, Trenching your gushing entrails bricht, Like onie ditch; And then, Oh what a glorious sicht, Warm-reekin, rich! Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive: Deil tak the hindmaist, on they drive, Till a’ their weel-swall’d kytes belyve Are bent like drums; Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive, ‘Bethankit’ hums. Is there that ower his French ragout, Or olio that wad staw a sow, Or fricassee wad mak her spew Wi perfect scunner, Looks down wi’ sneering, scornfu view On sic a dinner? Poor devil! see him ower his trash, As feckless as a wither’d rash, His spindle shank a guid whip-lash, His nieve a nit: Thro bloody flood or field to dash, Oh how unfit! But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread, Clap in his wallie nieve a blade, He’ll make it whissle; An legs an arms, an heads will sned, Like taps o thrissle. Ye Pow’rs, wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies: But, if Ye wish her gratefu prayer, Gie her a Haggis! The Selkirk Grace This is the grace given before the Burns Supper when the Haggis is cut with a dagger. Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o’ the puddin’-race! Aboon them a’ ye tak yer place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye wordy o’ a grace As lang’s my airm The Plaque can be found on the wall of Robert Burns Rose Garden Burn Street Dumfries Robert Burns Ploughing the field outside his house Ellisland Farm Next - Robert Louis Stevenson Story
