The church is situated near the Firth of Forth, in Leith. The Presbytery stands in its
own grounds directly opposite.
Date founded : 1847 - Date built : 1852
Leith was once a thriving port for the city of Edinburgh, and in common with many
ports, the docks are now going through a programme of regeneration. Leith is now
the largest waterfront development in Europe; and is also home to the Royal
Yacht Britannia.
The church was designed in 1854 by the architects Pugin & Hansom in the
Gothic style.
