Kirk of St Nicholas

5 September 2026 (10:00 - 15:30)

Aberdeen City

In Person

The original church, known as 'The Mither Kirk' dated from 1151, was one of the largest medieval churches in Scotland and one of the most historically important buildings in Aberdeen. With some surviving elements from the late 12th century in the transepts and central crossing, it has been gradually altered through the centuries to become a large, prominent feature in the city landscape. The West Church is thought to be the only remaining Gibbs building in Scotland and its interior is particularly noteworthy as a rare, largely unaltered 18th century survival.

Opportunity for the public to see inside the Kirk of St Nicholas. We shall provide information on the history of the Kirk and its artefacts.
