Old Parish and St.Paul's Church, Galashiels.

The Porch on the front was added as a memorial to the two sons of local manufacturer William Schultze of Brunswickhill, who both died near Amiens in the First World War.

Above the porch door is a carving - Le Beau Dieu - an exact copy of that above the door to Amiens Cathedral.

Plaques in the porch commemorate those who died in both World Wars.
