Two historic churches in disrepair receive £200,000
Two dilapidated [sic] churches are to be repaired with funding from Historic Scotland, Culture Minister Linda Fabiani announced yesterday.The cash boost of £207,700 is for urgent repairs to make Old St Paul's Episcopal Church and Corstorphine Parish Church in Edinburgh stable and watertight.
Old St Paul's will receive up to £92,600, while as much as £115,100 will be available to Corstorphine Parish.
Ms Fabiani said: "It is important that we recognise the value of historic buildings in our communities.
"This includes the facilities they provide and what they mean to the people who use them and work in them.
"These projects are great examples of buildings that serve the needs of a wide range of different groups, each holding a special place in people's lives. This funding will allow them to continue to do this."
