St. Mark (Scottish Episcopal, 1826). © Alastair Cameron. Link. Grade B listed - surely a mistake in the "Notes" where it says consecration of the church was in 1928. It must mean 1828 or thereabouts.

U.R.C. on Marlborough Street. © Alastair Cameron.

Former church at 74 Portobello High Street, now a private residence. No maps available to me label it as a church, though the 25" O.S. map of 1914 has it as Hall. NT 3036 7406. © Alastair Cameron. The former church was converted into a Woolworth's store at some point - the ghost of its frontage is still visible, and a photo from when it was a Woolworths can be seen here.
