About St Margaret's Church
The church is named after an 11th-century English princess. She was a Saxon princess who became Queen of Scotland. This happened when she married Malcolm III, the King of Scotland.
She was later made a saint by Pope Innocent IV in 1250. This process is called "canonisation."
