Dating back to a foundation in the 12th century, the current building, a fine example of Scottish Gothic Revival architecture, was completed in 1894. Its interior is adorned with beautiful stained-glass windows, intricate woodwork, and a striking painted ceiling. The church is set amidst a peaceful graveyard, which includes notable graves such as that of Thomas de Quincey. Visitors often appreciate the church for both its serene atmosphere and its central location, making it an ideal stop when visiting nearby attractions like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile.
