We are part of the world-wide Anglican communion and thus have very close links with the Church of England, as well as our Presbyterian neighbours (the Church of Scotland).

You can see our three spires from most places in Edinburgh, especially if you are on Princes Street and look west. The spires perhaps make you to want to look up. We hope they will make you want to make the short walk from Princes Street towards Haymarket.

Every day our doors are open: open so that anyone can visit, can come in and be still, perhaps light a candle as a sign of prayer for someone in need or a special need close to your heart. Each day prayers are said, the Eucharist (Holy Communion) celebrated, God is worshipped.
