Duddingston Kirk, Old Church Lane, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH15 3PX 0131 661 4240 email: jamesapjack@aol.com

Our regular worship takes place at 10:00am and 11:30am every Sunday. The early service is our family service, where the children depart midway through the service to attend the Sunday Club. The second service is more traditional. Tea and coffee is served in the Hall after the 10:00 service. Visitors are very welcome to join us for any service. Our forthcoming services are detailed below.

The Kirk and it’s associated buildings are used by many different organisations throughout the week, as well as for special events. Remember to check out our News and Events pages to see what’s happening in and around the Kirk.

The minister is available in the Gatehouse for consultation during vestry time. This is usually held from 6:30 - 8:00pm on Wednesdays.

Duddingston Kirk is one of the oldest places of worship in the country that is still used for regular worship today. Despite it’s age, the Kirk has a young and enthusiastic congregation of over 740 members, from over 520 households. The Kirk and it’s associated buildings are in use throughout the week and is a focal-point for the village and local community.

Every month, the minister publishes a Letter From The Manse and he makes available a series of Bible Reading Notes and we’ve got a Kids@Kirk web page for our younger members.

The Kirk has a number of items for sale, which might be of interest. Start your Christmas shopping now!
