On 13 March around 800 people gathered in a service of thanksgiving for the 200+ years the church has enjoyed in Edinburgh’s city centre. Based at 204 Rose Street, it will shortly transfer to a much larger building (the former St George’s West in Shandwick Place) to provide more space for its Sunday services and busy church programme. The congregation raised £1.55 million for the purchase of St George’s West and has invested £1.9 million on its refurbishment.
