34 Kirk of St Nicholas Spire in Aberdeen, Scotland

The Kirk of St Nicholas dates back to the mid-12 century. It has been called the Uniting Church and Mither Kirk because in 1828 it accommodated six parishes. Since the 1990s, it has served both the Church of Scotland and The United Reformed Church. The West Kirk, viewed from the Kirkyard, was designed by James Gibbs and finished in 1755. This Gothic clock tower was rebuilt after a major fire in 1874 and then furnished with a carillon of 48 bells. The church’s namesake is Saint Nicholas. This 4th century Greek Bishop is the patron saint of fishermen and Aberdeen.
