About


From our medieval pillars to our modern stained glass, St Giles' has watched over Edinburgh for the last 900 years and is rich with history and stories. There is plenty to explore and we have a fantastic team of guides who can help you engage with and enjoy the building. Or, if you are looking for a quiet moment of reflection in the heart of Edinburgh, you can find that here too. Open seven days a week, we are full of intriguing historical secrets and epic architecture.

We offer guided tours at 10:30 and 2:30 which can be booked for free via our website, or you can purchase our audio tour. If you would like to bring a group around please contact groups@stgilescathedral.org.uk

St Giles' has a varied music and events program that can be accessed here: https://www.stgilescathedral.org.uk/events-cal
