PLATE FOUR
The Tron Steeple
The Tron Steeple was built onto an existing church in the
seventeenth century and survived a fire which destroyed the older
structure in 1793. A new church was designed by James Adam
(1732-94) but it was not connected to the steeple. In the 1850s
John Carrick (1819-90), who later became the city architect,
pierced two arches through the steeple. The church was converted
into the Tron Theatre in the 1980s.
