The Kirk is the oldest standing building in Perth, and one of the most important parish churches in Scotland. It was first mentioned in 1126, and has played a central part in the life of the burgh. The best known incident to take place at St John's Kirk was John Knox's sermon against idolatry, preached on 11th May 1559. The original building was completed by 1241, when the Kirk was dedicated by the Bishop of St Andrews, but it has undergone many alterations since then.

St John's Anglican Church in Lunenburg, NS is the second oldest Protestant Church in Canada.
It was built in 1754 during the French and Indian War, using the wood salvaged from an older disassembled church building. On Halloween night, 2001, St. John's church was destroyed by fire, but has since been rebuilt.
We wandered in here and were treated to the organist practicing Bach. The church on this site dates to the 13th century, but it has been expanded and reconstructed over the years, acquiring its present form in the 1500s. I assume that is when the striking star vaults date to. It has been recently restored.
St John's College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. The college was founded by Lady Margaret Beaufort. In constitutional terms, the college is a charitable corporation established by a charter dated 9 April 1511
The college's alumni include the winners of ten Nobel Prizes, seven prime ministers and twelve archbishops of various countries, at least two princes, and three Saints. The Romantic poet William Wordsworth studied at the college, as did William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson, the two abolitionists who led the movement that brought slavery to an end in the United Kingdom.

Notes: John S. Johnston (c.1839 – December 17, 1899) was a late 19th-century maritime and landscape photographer. He is known for his photographs of racing yachts and New York City landmarks and cityscapes. Very little is known about his life. He was evidently born in Britain in the late 1830s, and was active in the New York City area in the late 1880s and 1890s. Johnston's photographs were published in Outing magazine, Forest and Stream (now Field and Stream), and other 1890s periodicals featuring yacht racing. He reportedly worked in partnership with C. Miller at one time, and his office was located at various times at 508 W. 158th Street as well as 494 W. 166th St., and 783 Broadway in New York City. Collections of Johnston's work exist today at the Mystic Seaport Museum, the Museum of the City of New York, the National Museum of American History, the Hallmark Photographic Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Seattle Art Museum, and many other museums and archives across the United States.

Aerial view from St. Peter's. St. John's has its origin in a small chapel built in the 13th Century, but was rebuilt after a fire in 1677. It is now a Lutheran parish church.
St. John's College - New Court detail.
The New Court was completed in 1831 to the designs of Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson. Its style is Gothic, a romantic version of a mediaeval building, not an attempt to copy real Gothic exactly. The basic plan is classical, but the details are Gothic, as is the long cloister which closes the south side of the Court.

I love to visit this church in Harriman State Park. The church also served occasionally as an orphan home. It is one of the few buildings left of the hamlet of St. John's. The episcopal church still holds services every Sunday.
The hospital grounds of St. John's at Livingston provide the bus photographer with superb opportunities and at any time of the day vehicles can be captured in the North, East, South and West. This is great when the sun is shining brightly as there's always a position to take pictures from.
This is also a very good place for getting lots of buses and sometimes several all arrive within minutes.
From the 'Lothian' prospective I had a super hour or so snapping at buses on the 'new-to Lothian' Services X27, X28, 275, 280 and 287 - I never realised any of these service numbers existed until recently!
It's also refreshing for people like me, so rooted in Edinburgh, to be way out here in West Lothian wondering where on earth
places with the names Blackridge, Whitburn and Bathgate are!
Never having been to any of them before I realise how much of an education being a bus enthusiast can offer.
I was able to tick off as many as fifteen fleet numbers from this session and so this is the first of quite a few buses at St. John's.
Fifty former London Volvo B9TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 2's have joined the fleet, twenty five in new-madder red and white, and twenty five in Lothan Country's green and cream. Fleet numbers are as follows:
Green and Cream: 1003, 1004, 1013 and 1028 to 1049
Madder red and White: 1001-1002, 1004-1012, 1014-1027 and 1050
With the rich colours of autumn developing here comes number 1036 (LXZ 5422) arriving at the hospital grounds on a Service 275 bound for Whitburn. Nice to see the ticket banner again on these buses promoting an all-day ticket between Edinburgh and West Lothian of £7.50.

Containing what is believed to be one of the oldest houses in St. John's, the lower battery is perched on the side of the cliff below Cabot Tower just inside the Narrows of St. John's harbour.
Precariously perched, it is a colourful welcome to the oldest, most easterly city in North America.

St John's, Smith Square, a Baroque church that was sold to a charitable trust as a ruin after the firebombing of the Second World War. The church was restored and is now used as a concert hall.
St John's Co-Cathedral is a Roman Catholic co-cathedral in Valletta, Malta, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. It was built by the Order of St. John between 1572 and 1577, having been commissioned by Grand Master Jean de la Cassière as the Conventual Church of Saint John
The church was designed by the Maltese architect Girolamo Cassar, who designed several of the more prominent buildings in Valletta. In the 17th century, its interior was redecorated in the Baroque style by Mattia Preti and other artists. The interior of the church is considered to be one of the finest examples of high Baroque architecture in Europe.

Burlington's second oldest Church is St. John's. Built to serve the rural community of Nelson along the Dundas Road, it has always been an extension of St Luke's in the downtown. The parish still worships in their original building and only became a single-point charge in the 1980s.
