It is the only Scottish church where five consecutive ministers each served at least once as Moderator of the General Assembly (eight if including second charge ministers). (en)
  • 特隆教堂(Tron Kirk)是一所前苏格兰教会教堂,位于苏格兰首府爱丁堡,是皇家一英里沿线一个著名的地标。 特隆教堂以前是蘇格蘭教會在愛丁堡教區的主要教堂,當初是由教區花了£1000向William Scott博士買的。該教堂由查理一世下令建造,然而這時期也是君皇在擴建愛丁堡城的時期。此教堂從開始到完工分別是在1636和1647年,它是由當時的皇家工匠(Royal master mason)John Mylne所設計,此教堂混合了古典和哥德的建築風格,還有一個荷蘭(Dutch)風格的尖塔。在1780年代為了擴建南面的廣場跟拓寬東邊道路,拆掉部分的南面跟東面,而為了保持教堂的對稱性,所以西側也跟著縮減部分。在1824年11月16日,愛丁堡發生大火,特隆教堂也遭波及,但是比較幸運的事是該教堂只有荷蘭式的鐘塔著火,在19世紀之後特隆教堂成為愛丁堡市民在Hogmanay(蘇格蘭的新年除夕)傳統的聚會地點。 二十世紀初宗教熱潮已經在西歐退燒,終於在1952年,因為特隆教堂最後一位教友辭世所以關閉。愛丁堡市議會決定把教會則遷移到了Moredun區。從此之後該教堂閒置了五十年,這段期間政府為了改善教堂旁邊繁忙的十字路口和老舊橋樑,不止一次提出整個教堂拆除的計劃。幸運的是,在1974年的教堂基礎與地板修復工程進行時,發現了在1532年鋪設的鵝卵石街道遺址以及一些陶器跟牡蠣殼,所以有幸被保存下來。在1984年時,建堂的內部計畫改建成特隆教堂遺產中心,並在1993-2006年期間出租做為舊城的資訊中心,並在夏天開放臨時走到供遊客觀察考古遺骸。在最近幾年,特隆教堂常常為愛丁堡Fringe Festival提供場地,如Jazz & Blues Festival和the PBH Free Fringe。 (zh)
