Welcome
We are a Scottish Episcopal Church in the heart of Edinburgh
You are welcome to attend any of our services in person or online.
Holy Week & Easter @OSP
Join us at Old Saint Paul’s for Holy Week 2025 (April 13–20) as we journey from Palm Sunday to Easter. Experience moving liturgies, reflective services, and communal worship marking Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection. All are welcome!
Lent @OSP
In 2025, Lent runs from Ash Wednesday on 5 March until Holy Saturday on 19 April. Old Saint Paul’s will be offering additional services for this season of reflection and simple living. We also invite you to consider your own prayer practices and patterns of reflection and study during this time.
Don't forget to join our Lenten Post-Mass Discussions, and check out our Flowers for Easter page!
The White Rose
The White Rose is a monthly online magazine for the OSP community. Each month, one of the beautifully written and well-researched articles of the issue is featured on our website for a wider readership.
For the month of April, let us trace the history and design of our Memorial Chapel through Mark Gibson's article "The Breaking of the Day: An Interpretation of the War Memorial at Old Saint Paul's".
Joining OSP
Old Saint Paul’s is a large church in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, with members gathered from across Edinburgh and beyond. As you settle in to Old Saint Paul’s, you may wish to become involved as a member and be part of this committed community.
“It was the beauty of the liturgy that first drew me to OSP”
Worship
Our main worship service at Old Saint Paul’s is High Mass on a Sunday Morning. On Sunday evenings, we gather for Solemn Evensong and Benediction.
On weekdays, there is Morning Prayer and Low Mass.
Who we are
Old Saint Paul’s is a gathered congregation that meets in the centre of Edinburgh.
People are drawn to Old Saint Paul’s for many different reasons – their love of liturgy, church music, devotion to Anglo-Catholic worship, or their search for a church where they feel at home.
