St Andrew's & St George's Church Church

St Andrew's & St George's church (formerly St Andrew's church) is on the north side of George Street, close to St Andrew Square in Edinburgh's New Town.

The church was built in 1785.  Its spire was added in 1789.  The church is oval shaped.  It's claimed that there are no corners for the Devil to hide!
