St Paul's & St George's Church, Edinburgh

St Paul's and St George's Church is a distinctive landmark in the New Town of Edinburgh. It was designed by Archibald Elliot circa 1816-18 and is an important building in the development of the Gothic Revival in Scotland.

Simpson & Brown prepared a condition report in 1984 and recommended five phases of extensive roof and stone repair. Work to the masonry included a significant amount of renewal of carved decoration to the finials and parapets. Internal work included new lighting and heating. The re-decoration of the interior was based upon detailed investigation and analysis of the original scheme.

The work was funded in part by Historic Scotland and Edinburgh District Council.
