About

St Paul's Church is a former church building located in Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Standing in St Paul's Square, on the Old High Street, at its junction with South Methven Street, it was completed in 1807. The work of architect John Paterson, it is now a Category B listed building.

It was one of the first churches to be built in Perth after the Reformation, sparked by John Knox's sermon at the nearby St John's Kirk in 1559. The church closed in 1986, and fell into a state of dereliction. In June 2021, the church's bell rang out for the first time in thirty years, completing a £2.2-million restoration of the church into an outdoor performance space.
