About St Giles’
St Giles’ Cathedral, founded in 1124 by King David I, has been a working church for almost 900 years. A backdrop to Scotland’s turbulent religious history, it has seen the seeds of civil war sown and been John Knox’s parish church during the Reformation. It is still an important centre for civic services such as the Kirking of the Parliament and services for Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle.
St Giles’ Cathedral is open to all, to worship, to visit and to experience music, art and history within its walls.

900 Voices is a participative project by Zoë Irvine with Lindsay Perth and Jules Rawlinson and was commissioned as part of Edinburgh’s St Giles’ Cathedral’s momentous 900th Anniversary celebrations.
We were delighted to invite people from all over Edinburgh to get involved in an ambitious sound art project for this momentous occasion and it was presented as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.
The 900 Voices installation is now finished but if you are interested in contributing to the archive, please send an email to hello@900voices.org by 15th November.
Build St Giles’!
We are excited to launch our new video game on our website, where you can build St Giles’ over it’s 900 year history.
The game was made in collaboration with The Games and Gaming Lab at the University of Glasgow and Education Evolved. It was supported by Interface.
