📌 Haddington, East Lothian
★
St Martin’s Kirk is the only remaining part of St Mary’s Nunnery, a large Cistercian complex built to the east of Haddington in the late 1100s. The church is actually believed to pre-date the nunnery by a few decades, making it one of the earliest surviving parish kirks in Scotland, originally serving the local population. The church was ruined in the reformation but – apart from the roof – its structure is reasonably intact. Parking is available on adjacent streets but you can also walk from the town centre, crossing the 16th century arches of Nungate Bridge en route.
