St Giles' - The Dramatic Story of a Great Church and its People

Sitting majestically atop the ridge of Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile, St Giles' looks imposingly down upon Scotland's capital. This book tells the story of Scotland's most famous church from its foundation in the 1120s through the 17th-century Prayer Book riot, the writing of the Covenant in 1638, and the executions of Montrose and Argyll.
