parish church lies south of the current main road, amongst a small cluster of buildings which represent the original village. It was built in a simple rectangular form, with a pediment on its north (entrance) side and a low central spire, in 1784 by James Thompson of Leith. Its interior was remodelled in 1835 by the Edinburgh architect, David Bryce, and in 1848 the windows were enlarged by the architect David Cousin. As the graveyard pre-dates the church it is presumed that the church replaced an earlier church. The graveyard is laid out in three sections: an original section around the church including several interesting carved stones from the 17th and 18th centuries; a Victorian section on a raised tier; and an attached, but separately walled cemetery to the south, containing 20th century graves. The lower section contains a coffin shaped stone to the Napier family dated 1751. This rare form is also found in Ratho churchyard to the north-west. The war memorial. which adopts the form of a medieval market cross, stands near the entrance to the church. It was designed by Sir Robert Lorimer and added in 1921. Below the site of the church close to the Water of Leith is St Mungo's Holy Well with its stone basin and side walls.
