Stone stair rising to a life-size sculpted Calvary and memorial chapel that inspired Alison Watt’s masterpiece Still.
About this Event

Hard by Waverley Station, Old Saint Paul’s is home to Edinburgh’s oldest Episcopal congregation. The astonishing War Memorial was completed in 1926 and comprises a broad stone stair that rises to an almost life-size sculpted Calvary of grave beauty, and – over the stair – a chapel. Mark Gibson, author of a history of Old St Paul’s, conducts a tour of the building that inspired Alison Watt’s masterpiece Still, which hangs above the chapel’s stone altar. Exploring Sacred Space is organised in conjunction with the National Churches Trust.
