St Columba's Parish Church and The Parsonage

In 1601 in St Columba's there was a meeting of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. King James VI was in attendance and at this meeting it was decided to pursue a new authorised bible, later know as the King James Bible.

The Parsonage with its stepped gables was built in 1854 by George Hay Forbes, an Episcopalian minister in the town. It was built as a school and a home. George Hay Forbes was a remarkable preacher, linguist and scholar
