Part of Table Gravestone Submitted by: Magickal_Faerie Location: St. Andrews Old Kirk, North Berwick Maker/Artist: Unknown Date/Period: Unknown Description: Part of a table gravestone, now housed in the porch of the Old St. Andrews Kirk in North Berwick. Found during the archaeological excavations during the 1950's and 2000's. This is one of the only grave markers that remain at St. Andrews Kirk, the other probably being a grave slab of a knight from the 1200's. The inscription is a little indecipherable, but what remains of the grave slab itself is in fairly good condition. Probably made from red sandstone, with a skull and crossbones that stands out at the top and inscribed lettering underneath. Slightly weathered and cracked around the outsides, probably evidence of being found during an excavation.
St Andrews Old Kirk Submitted by: justnic88 Location: North Berwick Maker/Artist: Date/Period: Original building 1100s Description: This is the remains of the St Andrews Old Kirk at North Berwick. The majority of the building was destroyed in 1656 during a storm with large chunks of the building falling into the sea. All that is standing now is the porch of the church (the white structure at the back of the photo) that was added to the building at some point after the Reformation. This room has been used for a mixture of things since then, including a base for the Coastguard Rocket Patrol in the 1850s, who would launch lines out to ships stuck on rocks in an attempt to haul them in. Some artefacts that were found during archaeological digs in the 1950s and 2000 are now stored in the porch area.	6 times Submitted by: justnic88 Location: Water of Leith, Leith Docks Maker/Artist: Antony Gormley Date/Period: 2010 Description: This is one of the statues in Antony Gormley's 6 times collection.
