triple kirks, aberdeen, scotland
| |
|
three seperate churches shared this one spire, built in 1843 by archibald simpson; a uniquely scottish solution saving money and leaving a great ecclesiastical legacy. however, one church has gone, one is a ruin, one a pub, and the remains are due to be destroyed, leaving only the spire buried in a boring badly designed glass office block, totally unsuited for its wonderful position and an insult to the city.
