Baptist Church

The old church here is on the main road leading from the traffic lights at Brandon Terrace, beside the bridge at Canonmills to the traffic lights at the junction with Broughton Road.  It is opposite the Esso petrol station.

This view looks to the west towards the church and the tenements at the corner of Canonmills and Brandon Terrace
