An introduction and welcome to the Diocese from the Right Rev Brian Smith, the Bishop of Edinburgh:
The Diocese of Edinburgh has over fifty churches within its boundaries. Although half of these churches are within the city of Edinburgh, the Diocese also covers a far-reaching area from its northern edge along the Firth of Forth, incorporating the whole of the Lothians, Falkirk and the Scottish Borders, to its southern boundary along the English border.
We have three companion dioceses, the Diocese of Cape Coast in Ghana, the Diocese of Connor, part of the Church of Ireland, and the Diocese of Dunedin, in the Anglican Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.
You will be most welcome at any of our churches, which offer a wide variety of worship styles. You can find details and times of services as well as their location on this website - please see the Edinburgh Diocese Church Directory.
If you are planning to visit the Diocese of Edinburgh in the near future or just browsing this website, may I offer you blessing in the name of our Risen Lord.
+Brian, The Right Reverend Bishop Brian Smith- The Bishop of Edinburgh
