Currie Kirk. The original Currie was a small village straddling the Water of Leith, to the south of the modern suburb. The 18th century church is a rather lovely building, well seen from the Water of Leith walkway. They were serving teas on the day of my visit too. This Pentland side of Currie is much more rural, and there is a lot of farmland in this square as well.

Curriehill Station from across the fields
Currie Kirk in Winter Nestling at the foot of the Pentland Hills, this is one of the oldest Reformation churches in Scotland still in regular use. It has been a holy site since Celtic times and was supposedly founded by St Kentigern who may have used the old "Monks Road" through the hills.
