St Mary's church was built in faith almost 700 years ago. Despite war and destruction this building and that faith have been maintained by succeeding generations. It is now home to the congregation of Haddington Parish. The Lamp of Lothian continues to shine brightly, welcoming pilgrims on life's journey.
