It was completed in 1879 and shows figures from the Old Testament Ruth, Isaac, Isaiah and Jonah among them below representations of well-know stories from the New Testament; Christ and Nicodemus, Christ and the Woman from Samaria, the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Get there early on a sunny morning to see it in its best light. The church building itself is a not very remarkable example of Old English style designed by Anthony Salvin (1779-1881). The exterior is of soft sandstone from Eden valley, the rest of the church is from local stone. It features one of the finest small organs in the north (stop sniggering you at the back).

I got confused at this church, approached on foot on a walking tour of Dumfries on Thursday 18 July…read more2019. Thought it had a different name, first Saint Andrew's Church, then Greyfriars Church. So, I checked the marked skyline visual I had taken a picture of and a map I had and realized I had veered off in a direction I had not meant to, and, aha! it was St George's Church of Scotland, which was entirely off of the visual I had taken a picture of because it was too far north. One of the morals of my July 2019 heritage travel trip to Scotland, take pictures of everything if unsure of where one is. Also, if one has a map and thinks one might be lost, better to check early and correct course. The church is still in use and holds service. The outside is visible from afar, which is part of how I ended up visiting it. I followed the tall steeple tip and ended up here... just not on my map/visual. The grounds were well maintained and informational bulletins on the premises provide church information.
