Summary
| Description |
English: The building of the Tron Kirk was started in 1637 but not completed until 1678 because of delays caused by the Wars of the Covenant after 1638. It was Edinburgh's first presbyterian kirk, free of any taint of Catholicism attached to the history of Greyfriars and St. Giles. It takes its name from the 'tron', the weighing-machine that stood nearby to check that market traders were using genuine weights. The spire was rebuilt in 1828 after the original had been destroyed in a fire.
