Greyfriars Kirk

Welcome to Greyfriars Kirk! Based in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, Greyfriars Kirk has stood in the same spot since 1620 – the first new Kirk to be built in post-Reformation Scotland. We aim to be a welcoming, inclusive community and to respond to local needs in a variety of ways, particularly through our work with the Grassmarket Community Project and the Greyfriars Charteris Centre. The Kirk is also a unique venue for the arts and private events, as well as being open to visitors as a popular tourist attraction. We look forward to welcoming you!
