We had a wonderful time yesterday working with some amazing volunteers who joined us from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, local universities and a local church, along with a few of our own fabulous veteran church recorders, as we began to document St Margaret's Chapel in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh.

This church recording was undertaken as part of the @churchheritage.bsky.social, a collaborative initiative to document the heritage and social value of ten exceptional Scottish churches, managed by ourselves and @socantscot.bsky.social, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Pilgrim Trust.

Some volunteers kneel in the centre of the image to document some wooden pews by taking pictures, describing and measuring each item

Our immense thanks to all of these incredible hard-working volunteers who gave up their day to assist with the recording work and to the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh for arranging access and welcoming us to their beautiful church building.
