Religious Sights in Edinburgh "Religious Sights in Edinburgh" Edinburgh is dotted with religious sights that are visited by tourists, as well as, devotees in large numbers. These religious sights reflect the rich culture of the city. This collection features some popular religious sights in Edinburgh. Created by: Cityseeker 5 Locations Bookmarked Saint Giles' Cathedral "Ancient Scottish History & Architecture" An outstanding exemplar of Gothic architecture, this cathedral looms large above Edinburgh's Old Town, calling attention with its grand crown steeple. The church is steeped in a long and storied history that began nearly a millennia ago. Although there has been a church on this site since 1854, the earliest remains to be found in St Giles' Cathedral are four pillars by Carlos Delgado which date from about 1120. In 1385 the church was destroyed by an English army but soon afterward rebuilt in greater splendor. In 1460 the roof was raised and the main body of the church extended eastwards. The intricate spire was completed in 1495 and St Giles' was declared a Presbyterian cathedral. The Chapel of the Knights of the Thistle, built in 1911 for the Order of the Thistle, is particularly beautiful: each Knight's stall is carved in wood with an impressively intricate touch. +44 131 225 9442 www.stgilescathedral.org. [email protected] High Street, Edinburgh uk/ k St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral "Neo-gothic Gem" St Mary's Scottish Episcopal Cathedral, designed by George Gilbert Scott (of St Pancras Station, London fame), is one of Edinburgh's finest examples of neo-Gothic architecture, both inside and out. A five minute walk from the west end of Princes Street (look for the three towering spires), it's generally less touristy than St Giles' or St John's, and is quite by Jon the gem of the Edinburgh diocese. St Mary's also has an impressive art collection adorning its walls. Check out 'The Presence' by A.E. Braithwaite, to the left of the altar, and the newly-restored murals of the canticle 'Benedicte Omnia Opera' by the great 19th-century artist Phoebe Anna Traquair. +44 131 225 6293 www.cathedral.net/ [email protected] Palmerston Place, Edinburgh St Margaret's Chapel "Quaint Little Church" St Margaret's Chapel is the oldest building in the Edinburgh Castle and a brilliant surviving example of Romanesque architecture. Originally built in the 12th Century, the chapel was restored in the 19th Century and is now under the preservation of St Margaret's Chapel Guild. The chapel is beautified with the five stained glass windows of St Margaret, St Andrew, by Public Domain St Ninian, St Columba and William Wallace, all designed by Douglas Strachan. stmargaretschapel.com/index.php?option=com_conten Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh t&view=article&id=47&Itemid=54 Edinburgh Central Mosque "Iconic Mosque" One of the largest mosques in Edinburgh, Edinburgh Central Mosque was opened to the devotees in 1998. This massive mosque has the capacity to hold 1250 devotees for prayer. Edinburgh Central Mosque is officially known as King Fahd Mosque and Islamic Centre of Edinburgh.

This minimalistic church building's design is a fusion of Survival Gothic and Baroque architecture. The stained glass at Greyfriars Kirk, the oldest in the country, is a notable feature of this church. This church and the surrounding cemetery, Greyfriars Kirkyard, are protected by Public Domain monuments and are visited by tourists in large numbers. +44 131 225 1900 greyfriarskirk.com/ Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh JOIN US AT: cityseeker.com TERMS & CONDITIONS | PRIVACY POLICY | API | CONTACT US | Copyright (C) 2021 CITYSEEKER Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Church of Scotland Records Held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives
    CHURCH OF SCOTLAND RECORDS HELD BY ABERDEEN CITY AND ABERDEENSHIRE ARCHIVES A GUIDE CONTENTS INTRODUCTION i ABERDEEN PRESBYTERY RECORDS 1 ST NICHOLAS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 4 GREYFRIARS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 12 NIGG KIRK SESSION RECORDS 18 ABERDEEN SYNOD RECORDS 19 ST CLEMENTS KIRK SESSION 20 JOHN KNOX KIRK SESSION RECORDS 23 INTRODUCTION Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives holds various records relating to the Church of Scotland in Aberdeen. The records are held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives on behalf of the National Archives of Scotland under what is known as ‘Charge and Superintendence’. When the Church of Scotland deposited its records in Edinburgh, a decision was made that where there were suitable repositories, local records would be held in their area of origin. As a result, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives was designated as a suitable repository and various records were returned to the city. Microfilm copies of the majority of the original volumes can be viewed in the National Archives in Edinburgh. All Church of Scotland records begin with the reference CH2 followed by the number allocated to that particular church. For example, St Nicholas is referenced 448, therefore the full reference number for the records of the St Nicholas Kirk Session is CH2/448 followed by the item number. If you wish to look at any of the records, please note the reference number (this always starts with CH2 for records relating to the Church of Scotland) and take care to ensure the record you wish to view covers the correct dates. You do not need to note the description of the item, only the reference, but please ensure you have identified the correct item.

  • 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate's Close Proximity to The
    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

  • Vision 2019 Updating You on the Greyfriars Community
    Vision 2019 Updating you on the Greyfriars Community Welcome/Fáilte! It has been two years since the Greyfriars Review was first published. Much has been happening in the Greyfriars community and therefore there is a lot to report! ‘Vision 2019’ aims to give you an update on what we have been doing and to outline future plans. Worship, the arts and community outreach are centered at our three locations – Greyfriars Kirk (GK), the Grassmarket Community Project (GCP) and the Greyfriars Charteris Centre (GCC). They are managed independently, but key members are common to all three organisations so the Greyfriars ethos and ideals are maintained. With enlarged teams, we are taking on more work and responsibilities within the parish and wider community. As with any organisation we are very dependent on our dedicated members, congregation, volunteers and staff to make things happen and are therefore very grateful to them all. We welcome new faces to be part of our community and if you would like to get involved, we will find a place for you.
