Burgher Chapel
Unique stays in an old Scottish church
The chapel offers two holiday lets, the Gallery Flat and the Museum Flat. Each offers a unique experience; each reflects the textile and millinery artistry established in Burgher Chapel.
The 'Gallery Flat' is an airy, high-ceiling apartment arranged over two floors. Two tall church windows let light and warmth illuminate the open plan living space.
The flat sleeps six people, with two dedicated bedrooms and a third double bed located on a mezzanine space overlooking the lounge.
The large, quiet gallery flat offers guests a sense of peace, a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Museum Flat (The Loft)
The Museum flat is a studio apartment overlooking the chapel's wee hat museum, a celebration of the chapels former use as a textile school.
Look down through old victorian windows at the vintage and theatrical hats and textiles. Through the window look out to the River Tay, the Isle of Mugdrum and Perthshire beyond the river.
The flat itself offers room to breath and a quirky place from which to explore Newburgh, Fife and the rest of Scotland.
