Gothic former Free Church rebuilt as a royal exhibition hall beneath its original open timber roof.
This guide to the King's Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh follows Elizabeth, Duchess of Gordon, an Episcopalian noblewoman who broke with the established church and joined the breakaway Free Church of Scotland in 1846. The guide traces the chapel and school her money built at the very gates of the sovereign's Edinburgh residence, and the exiled ministers she sheltered under her own roof before formally joining their cause. She was later named the only woman among the Free Church's seventy 'Disruption Worthies.'
