If you have a story or memory about Leith St Andrew's you would like to share, please click on the link to add your memory. There will be a history exhibition in the building at the end of February/beginning of March organised by Leith St. Andrew's Trust which will feature archival material, research carried out by Dr Julian Grant and stories from people who have shared their memories of Leith St Andrew's throughout the years.

Do you have a story to share about Leith St. Andrew's Parish Church? Can you recall a special memory that took place there? If so, we want to hear from you!

Leith St. Andrew’s Church was earmarked for closure by the Church of Scotland and held its final service on Sunday 29 December 2024. To mark this moment of transition, Leith St. Andrew’s Trust (LSAT) has launched a project documenting the history of the church, its congregation, and the wider community that it has been part of for the past 140 years. Drawing from local archives and community members’ own memories, this project celebrates the important role the church has played locally and builds towards imagining a new future for the building.

Follow the link below to share your stories until the 26th of January 2025. Feel free to share far and wide!

The page for the new Church now has 73 followers. Can you help us reach 100 before Sunday so we can livestream the service? Remember to follow, not just like, or it doesn't count towards the number we need.
