St. Ninian's Craigmailen Church Bell Tower - Linlithgow, Scotland - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

"The building in which we worship is a lovely building seating around 400. Some comment is useful relating to the buildings main features. When the Church was completed in the mid-1870's, it was somewhat different in structure from today. There was no Transept, the Chancel Arch was built up with the pulpit in the centre and a hall behind. The foundation stone of the Church is centred on the Chancel Arch and is in the passage leading to the Choir Room. The total cost of the Church was £3,710.19.lOd., and this was paid off in the Session 1876-1877. The Bell was cast and placed in the steeple in 1877, it is the same pattern as the Town Bell, but larger."
