Canongate Kirk
Dec 26, 2007 by Stacey H from Sterling, VA USA
Overall Rating: 10

• The colors and brightness of the church. The friendly people. The architecture.
• Some hymns hard to follow tune. Don't know if gospel of grace by faith in Christ was made clear.

“I visited in September 2007. This Kirk (church) is beautiful! I took lots of pictures here. I loved the brightness of it. The pews are a lovely blue and the carpets scarlet red, making for a gorgeous and very pleasing contrast. Nothing dark and drab about this place. It is soul feeding just to gaze upon, inside and out. There was local art hanging and flags too. A gorgeous window of colors. They have a harpsichord, huge chord organ, and loft. In the front there is an arc of rainbow tapestry covered chairs that are worth making the visit in and of themselves. Be sure to get a close-up view of those. Where the royal family sits (when they visit) near the front is marked with royal emblems on the pews. The people were very nice and friendly. Nice looking preacher =). Love their accent even if it does sound like a foreign language. I don't know if they do this every week, but they had sweets and drinks in the back after Sunday service (donations accepted). We attended a service there on Sunday while visiting Edinburgh. We also attended a concert there. Be sure to pick up a copy or so of "by lamplight" book of prose and verse (if they still have it for sale). It is a real gem and hard to find reasonably priced in us. .”
