Scope and Content Duddingston Parish Church, Old Church Lane, Duddingston Village, Edinburgh Duddingston is a small and compact village built around a church founded in the 12th century. It lies in the shelter of Arthur's Seat, just outside the boundary of Holyrood Park, in a quiet rural setting on the shores of Duddingston Loch. The church is basically Romanesque. The square tower, with its distinctive parapet of pointed stones, was added in the 17th century. The octagonal Session House (left) was built as a watch tower against body-snatchers in 1824. Duddingston Church, believed to be one of the oldest churches in Scotland still in everyday use, was built on land gifted by King David I to the Abbot of Kelso in 1130. The feu charter remained with the Abbot until the Reformation in 1560. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
