Scotland's largest parish kirk was built in the 15th century. Its popular epithet, "The Lamp of Lothian", appears to have been transferred from a 13th-century Franciscan monastery on the site when the Lothians suffered from the ravages of Edward III's invasion of Scotland in the so-called 'Burnt Candlemas' of 1356. The present building was completed as a collegiate church in 1486
