St Kentigern's Church, Edinburgh (Union Canal)
St Kentigern's Church is a former Episcopalian church which is now disused in Edinburgh, Scotland. The congregation began in 1859 on Earl Grey Street as a mission station of St John's Episcopal Church on Princes Street. The church is located on the Union Canal in Viewforth and was built in 1897. The stone Gothic-style building was designed by John More Dick Peddie, a prolific Scottish architect and the designer of the Caledonian Hilton building. The church closed in 1941 after which it was used as a nursery and a garage.
In 2005, there was an attempt to demolish the church. In 2015, the church was found to contain a large cannabis haul.
In 2020, City of Edinburgh Council received a planning application to convert the church into residential use. As of 2024, it has been converted into housing.

Dalry, Edinburgh
Dalry () is an area of the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh. It is located close to the city centre, between Haymarket and Gorgie. The area is now primarily residential. It is centred around Dalry Road, which has numerous shops, restaurants and small businesses. Lying outside the old city walls and west of the castle, the area began as part of the agricultural estate of Dalry House (constructed in 1661), the exception being the Dalry Mill, recorded as the oldest paper mill in Scotland, now demolished.
In the Victorian period industrial development followed along with large scale tenement construction, new road layouts and the addition of railway infrastructure, all of which came to occupy the former fields. By the early 21st century most of the industry of Dalry has disappeared, with the former sites converted to private housing.
