Historic Churches Scotland, with the support of the St Margaret’s Trust (Braemar), St Margaret’s Gallowgate and the Braemar Local History Group, are delighted to announce a weekend of talks and tours celebrating the work of the architect Sir Ninian Comper.

Join the Very Reverend Dr Emsley Nimmo (FSA Scot), Rector of St Margaret’s Church, Gallowgate, on a tour of the church (where Comper added the chapel of St Nicholas, the rood and the Founder’s Aisle) and learn about theological reasoning that lies behind so much of the iconography of Comper’s work.
