The Tron Kirk is a former principal parish church in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a well-known landmark on the Royal Mile. It was built in the 17th century and closed as a church in 1952. Having stood empty for over fifty years, it was used as a tourist information centre for several years in the mid 2000's and, more recently, was the site of the Edinburgh World Heritage Exhibition and John Kay’s book and gift shop. The name comes from the weighing beam ("tron" in Scots), serving the public market on the Royal Mile, which stood outside until around 1800.

  • 特隆教堂(Tron Kirk)是一所前苏格兰教会教堂,位于苏格兰首府爱丁堡,是皇家一英里沿线一个著名的地标。 特隆教堂以前是蘇格蘭教會在愛丁堡教區的主要教堂,當初是由教區花了£1000向William Scott博士買的。該教堂由查理一世下令建造,然而這時期也是君皇在擴建愛丁堡城的時期。此教堂從開始到完工分別是在1636和1647年,它是由當時的皇家工匠(Royal master mason)John Mylne所設計,此教堂混合了古典和哥德的建築風格,還有一個荷蘭(Dutch)風格的尖塔。在1780年代為了擴建南面的廣場跟拓寬東邊道路,拆掉部分的南面跟東面,而為了保持教堂的對稱性,所以西側也跟著縮減部分。在1824年11月16日,愛丁堡發生大火,特隆教堂也遭波及,但是比較幸運的事是該教堂只有荷蘭式的鐘塔著火,在19世紀之後特隆教堂成為愛丁堡市民在Hogmanay(蘇格蘭的新年除夕)傳統的聚會地點。 (zh)
