AN appeal is being launched to save a historic Scottish building facing a funding crisis.
St John’s Kirk in Perth has dominated the city’s skyline but is now under threat as renovation and repair costs spiral.
“We can’t afford to turn our backs on such a significant building. We have to corral different funding streams to help, and I am very happy to put my shoulder to the wheel and help where I can.” “Marriages, christenings, funerals, civic and public events and landmark royal and historic occasions have all taken place within these ancient walls and its impact and influence have stretched far beyond Perth’s city boundary – both nationwide and internationally.“Hopefully, its ongoing role and historic significance will not be lost on those keen to ensure its survival.”
She continued: “The cash-strapped Church of Scotland is unlikely to provide support funding, but a future where this glorious building is allowed to decay and die is unthinkable and that’s why a special appeal has been launched to identify and secure funding streams to safeguard it for generations to come.
Ahead of the launch of the public appeal in the Kirk on Friday, Jameson said he was happy to play a role in ensuring Perth’s most important building was protected and promoted – celebrating its past glories and shaping its function and form into the future.“It has a wealth of history within its ancient walls – from medieval to modern times – and plays a vital role in both civic and congregational life in Perth.
