Open Kirk 2019 – We are open to visitors!
From May to September, the doors of Canongate Kirk are open to visitors as much as possible, usually from 11.00am to 4pm every day except Sundays when it is open from 1.30pm onwards. Come inside and see our new and still evolving visitors’ centre with topical story boards providing an insight into the past and present of this place of worship. Our gift shop is stocked with souvenirs and gifts (such as the unique Canongate Kirk tie, see below!) and friendly volunteers are on hand to welcome you and answer any questions. Explore the interior of the church itself with its famous blue pews or simply just experience the peace and quiet of this beautiful, iconic building.
