Augustine United Church
Edinburgh
Augustine is a diverse, progressive Christian congregation of the United Reformed Church, with a striking building on George IV Bridge. Its four storeys rise from Merchant Street, next to the Cowgate, towards an elaborate tower that earned the church the nickname of “the bridecake” when it was opened in 1861.
Our evolving, living heritage is reflected in a permanent exhibition which shares a story that began in one of the city’s most deprived areas, with roots in the ‘Radical’ Scottish Reformation. Vibrant stained glass by Robert Burns (1869–1941) is also featured.
Sanctuary available for viewing, together with our heritage exhibition and audio-visual resources. Light refreshments also available for those who need a pick-me-up!
We will feature Lego-based activities (see below) and our volunteer guides will be on hand to answer your questions.
