Who are we?

Our group promotes discussions between people from the Moorfoot area, Midlothian Council representatives and others with conservation as well as archaeological expertise in order to change the situation in which

the Old Kirk is steadily deteriorating and becoming dangerous as well as inaccessible. 

 

What do we do?

We were set up in order to advance a programme

for the urgently needed repair and maintenance of Temple Old Kirk.

​

Our aim is to secure funding for the assessment, oversight and long-term preservation of the Old Kirk's stone structure in order to enhance the experience

of all those who visit.

 

We also want to extend the understanding of the historical significance of the structure as well as

the aesthetic value of the setting of the Old Kirk,

notable for the peaceful and picturesque qualities 

of a 17th-century ruin within a rural churchyard.
