- Malgorzata12,108 contributionsSouth Leith Parish Church can be found in the heart of Leith in Edinburgh . South Leith Parish Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland. It is the principal church and congregation in Leith, in Edinburgh. It stands just beyond the foot of Leith Walk and is surrounded by a large graveyard which is a very quiet place in such an urban environment. The graveyard is the burial place for the playwright John Home and John Pew. You can find here a large number of 19th century gravestones , some 18th century stones with memento mori carvings and a big family of squirrels.Written November 28, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emu15Edinburgh, UK41 contributionsI’ve been keen to see this chapel for years…and passed by it today and it was open. A very knowledgeable gentleman told me the fascinating history of the chapel. Built just before the reformation in 1540’s as a Catholic chapel, then supported by the Guild of Hammernan as a Protestant place of worship till the late 1800’s
Stained glass roundals are amazing but so is the rest , it is the history of Scottish reformation in one small and beautiful buildingWritten August 26, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
