A FORMER church in the centre of Musselburgh will go under the hammer tomorrow (Thursday).
The building, opposite the junction of Bridge Street, was previously occupied by space technology company Astrosat when it was known as Copernicus Kirk.
Previously the High Kirk of St Andrews, the building dates back to the 19th century and was also used as a doll museum.
The auction, held by Future Property Auctions, takes place from 10am to 3pm and an opening bid has been set at £213,000.
Information about the property describes it as “an amazing investment opportunity in the wealthy coastal town of Musselburgh”.
