St. John's Evangelical Church Linlithgow was originally built as a Congregational Chapel in 1840 and is noted on a plaque above the entrance. The building is a simple rectangle, comprises 3 bays and is a plain unadorned building. The east and west sides of the building are a mirror image of each other.
Originally called St Mildred's and constructed in 1928 St. Peter’s Scottish Episcopal Church sits on the High Street. A historical reference can be found on a plaque which states that George Henry Somerset Walpole, Bishop of Edinburgh helped build the church in memory of Mildred his wife. The building is based on a broadly square plan with a low tower, the doorway features include carvings of four Evangelists.
Originally the High Church (from 1900 the High United Free Church), St Ninian's & Craigmailen cost the grand sum of £3,710.19.10d in the mid 1870's, however the building was somewhat different to today. The Chancel Arch was built up with the pulpit in the centre and a hall behind, and originally no transept had been constructed. The transept was added during 1900 and features three stained glass windows, a major internal and external refurbishment of the building has taken place in the last six or seven years.
