The Tron Kirk was completed in 1647. It was designed by John Mylne. It takes its name from the public weighing machine that stood in a nearby street in the 17th century. The Church lost its tower in the Great Fire of 1824. It was replaced by a taller spire in 1828.Visitors to the Kirk can now view the remains of a 16th century street discovered below the building in 1974. Since 1952 the building has been owned by City of Edinburgh Council and is currently used as a visitor centre.
