Situated in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, Greyfriars Kirk was founded in 1620 and is the first church to be built in post-Reformation Edinburgh.
We are proud to be a welcoming and inclusive church to people of all faiths and none, responding to local needs in a variety of ways, especially through our work with the Grassmarket Community Project and the Greyfriars Charteris Centre.
The Kirk is also an important venue for the arts, a beautiful space for social events and a popular visitor destination, welcoming a record 90,000 visitors from all over the world last year.
