Greyfriars Tolbooth & Highland Kirk

Welcome to Greyfriars Tolbooth and Highland Kirk, a worshipping congregation of the Church of Scotland in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town where a church has stood since 1620. We try to be a welcoming, inclusive community and to respond to local needs in a variety of ways. Worship tales place during the week as well as on Sundays in English and Gaelic.

The Kirk is a major venue for the arts, a tourist destination and through the Grassmarket Community Project we support some of our most vulnerable citizens. See our Vision and Mission Statements.

The Minister is Revd. Dr. Richard E Frazer.
