about us
Welcome to Edinburgh New Town Church of Scotland
Our church is a beautiful building with an important architectural and historic heritage, placed in the centre of a historic and “well-set” city.
It combines a peaceful sanctuary space with lively and energetic activities. In addition to Sunday worship, the church is usually open every day Monday to Friday for prayer, meditation or just rest.
We have a famous Christian Aid Sale every year, play host as a Fringe venue and have other events throughout the year.
Other activities include study and social groups, an ecumenical partnership, crafts and recycling and campaigning on issues affecting the world.
Edinburgh New Town Church affirms the rights of LGBTQ+ people to play a full part in the life of the Church; and is an Eco-Congregation, striving to reduce its environmental impact and to care for the world.
Edinburgh New Town Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland. We have an ecumenical covenant with St Cuthbert’s and St John’s Episcopal.
