North and South Leith Parish Church, founded in 1483, has been the historic parish church in Leith for over 500 years. Our historic building, redesigned by Thomas Hamilton in 1847, has within it many historical and architectural items of great interest including a unique hammer beam roof and magnificent stained-glass windows. The church has many royal connections including the coat of arms of Mary of Guise and Mary Queen of Scots.

There will be church members on hand to give guided tours and there are organ recitals during the afternoon of Sunday 27th September. 

Regular church service 11am - 12 noon on Sunday 27th, all welcome.
