Midweek (Mon - Fri)

For visitors during the week who wish to take a few minutes in quiet reflection, our ministers hold a short service at 12:00 each day, with prayers and a reading from Scripture. Although the Cathedral remains open to tourists at these times, we ask for quiet for the duration of the service, and that visitors refrain from taking photographs of the act of worship.

St Giles’ & Canongate United Service

19:00 On the last Sunday of each month there is a joint evening service between St Giles’ and Canongate Kirk. The service is held at the Canongate Kirk, and includes music from a quartet of singers from the St Giles’ choir.
