Begun in the early 15th century and still with its original oak roof beams, this is one of Scotland's finest medieval churches. Tradition says that James IV may have helped masons build the later eastern end during the early 16th century. In 1567 the infant James VI was crowned here, by which time the church was a reformed place of worship. Bullet marks on the tower may date from a siege of the castle by Cromwell's troops in 1651.
