WORSHIP AT ST GILES’
A PLACE WHERE ALL ARE WELCOME
For over 900 years, St Giles’ has been a place of worship, music, and community.
St Giles’ is a Church of Scotland congregation and worships according to the Presbyterian tradition.
We welcome people of all faiths and none to enjoy the peace of the building and participate in our services.
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.
