St Marks Unitarian Church

Unitarians in Edinburgh is a spiritual and community organization based at St. Mark’s Unitarian Church in Edinburgh, Scotland. Today, it is recognized as the largest Unitarian congregation in Scotland, welcoming people from diverse religious backgrounds as well as those who identify with no formal faith tradition. The community describes itself as an open and inclusive space that encourages thoughtful reflection, dialogue, and ethical living.

The congregation holds weekly services on Sundays at 11:00 am, which are accessible both in person and through online participation. These gatherings are typically non-doctrinal and may include readings from different religious and philosophical traditions, musical performances, reflective discussions, and moments of silence. The organization is also active in interfaith dialogue, serving as a founding member of the Edinburgh Interfaith Association.

In addition to its spiritual activities, Unitarians in Edinburgh host a variety of community and cultural events, including mindfulness sessions, discussion groups, poetry gatherings, and educational programs. The church building and its halls are also available for concerts, rehearsals, conferences, and Edinburgh Festival Fringe events, partly due to their notable acoustics. Through these activities, the organization continues to function as both a community center and cultural venue within Edinburgh’s wider artistic and social landscape.
