Coldstream Parish Church
Church of Scotland
The square church tower with its four stages, clocks and octagonal stone roofed bell-tower and weathervane is a distinctive feature of the outline of Coldstream. It and the west entrance are part of the original church built in 1718. The rest of the church was rebuilt in 1905 to a design by J M Dick Peddie. A classical nave and aisles church with barrel-vaulted roof supported by eight Tuscan columns. A fine stone pulpit sits in front of the semi-circular arch which leads into the chancel. The church contains many reminders of its close association, along with the town, with the Coldstream Guards. The Kings and Regimental Colours hang in the chancel. Plaque to the Rev Adam Thomson who formed the Coldstream Free Bible Press in 1845, thus breaking the monopoly held by Oxford and Cambridge Universities and the Kings printers in Scotland.
