St Martin's Church, Haddington

St Martin's Church, Haddington is a ruined church in the town of Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. A rare example of a 12th-century parish church, it was originally attached to the nunnery of St Mary's at Nungate. The nunnery was later destroyed by the English. St Martin's continued to function as a Protestant place of worship after the Reformation. It later fell into decay and was abandoned. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1921.
