Scope and Content The pulpit, Currie Parish Church, Currie, Edinburgh Currie Parish Church, designed in 1784 by James Thompson of Leith, stands on the south bank of the Water of Leith on the site of an earlier church probably built in the early part of the 14th century, but whose origins date from the 12th century. The pulpit stands in the middle of the south wall, between two large Gothic windows. Behind is a shell-moulded niche, flanked by Corinthian columns partly merged with the wall, and on each side are memorials to parishioners who died in World War I. In the 18th century parishioners guilty of some misdemeanour were condemned to sit, exposed to public gaze, on the 'repentance' stool, an uncomfortable stool so high that their feet could not touch the ground, throughout the long sermon from the pulpit.
