PLATE TWENTY
Greyfriars Church
The United Secession was formed in 1820 and this liberal body
aimed to place greater emphasis on the architecture of its
churches. The congregation appointed John Baird I to design
Greyfriars', named from the tradition that the land on which it
was built was formerly owned by the Franciscans. It was situated
on North Albion Street and opened in 1821 at a cost of £8300.
This landmark building was demolished in the 1960s.
