Scope and Content St Nicholas Church, Union Street, Aberdeen Founded before 1151, St Nicholas was one of the largest medieval burgh churches in Scotland. The late 12th-century transepts and crossing known as the Drum and Collison Aisles and the 15th-century crypt known as St Mary's Chapel survive. After the Reformation the church was split into two parts. To the left is the West Kirk of 1755, designed by James Gibbs and to the right is the East Kirk of 1834-7 by Archibald Simpson. The central tower and spire were rebuilt in 1874 after a fire. The entrance is via the south transept known as the Drum Aisle, one of the surviving parts of the medieval church.
