Founded in 1124 St Giles’ Cathedral has served as a site of worship for over 900 years.
From John Knox’s parish church during the Reformation, to the laying-in-rest of her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth, and the presentation of the Honours of Scotland to His Majesty King Charles III, St Giles’ Cathedral stands at the centre of major national events.
With an active and welcoming congregation, supported by a dedicated team of Ministers, St Giles’ continues to fulfil its historic role as the High Kirk of Edinburgh, Scotland’s National Church, and the mother church of Presbyterianism. St Giles’ is a place for reflection for visitors from around the world and a spiritual home for our congregation.
Sunday services are held at 9:30am and 11:00am, with the St Giles’ Cathedral Choir and Organ. St Giles’ Cathedral is open to all, for worship, for quiet reflection, or to visit and experience the music, art, and history within these remarkable walls.
Come and worship, all are welcome!
