Gargoyles at Crichton Collegiate Church, situated near to Pathhead, Midlothian, situated around 20 miles southeast of Edinburgh, Scotland.

---

The church was completed in 1449, by the then Lord Chanceller of Scotland, Lord William Crichton. The church was almost entirely destroyed after the Reformation, but was restored in the 19th Century and survives today, albeit not as a parish church, but as a venue for weddings, events and concerts. Crichton Collegiate Church Trust was established to ensure the church is maintained and financial support was received from Historic Scotland and the Heritage Lottery Fund as well as others.
