Journey back to 1890. Imagine the newly constructed Gogar Church standing proudly on Glasgow Road. Gogar Cabinet Works now occupies this very building. The church itself is a Grade-B listed structure. It even incorporates a pre-reformation chapel. Look closely at the architecture. The original plans called for a pitched roof on the tower. Unfortunately, funds ran out, leaving it as you see it today. Gogar Cabinet Works, within the old church walls, is a hub of creativity. Designer-makers like John MacKinnon, Chris Scotland, and Sharon Kirby share the space. They craft beautiful pieces from native hardwoods like oak, elm, ash, cherry, and yew. Gogar Church is the last remaining building in its immediate area north of Glasgow Road. It stands near the Royal Bank of Scotland flyover and Edinburgh Airport. For years, the construction of the Edinburgh Tram Line disrupted the peace of this historic site. The cabinet works has called Gogar Church home since 1979. The craftsmanship within these walls continues a legacy of artistry. It blends seamlessly with the rich history of this unique Edinburgh landmark.
