The New Town Churches (formerly St Andrew's and St George's West Church and Greenside Church)

Our building at 13 George Street is Edinburgh's first church in the original New Town built in 1784. It has been described as an architectural gem of the New Town.
Our building at 1b Royal Terrace is Gothic and set among Playfair's great terraces in this part of the city. Robert Louis Stevenson referred to it as 'the church on the hill'.
