Old Saint Paul's

About

Old St Paul's is an historic church of the Scottish Episcopal Church in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town in Scotland. It is one of the original, 17th-century, congregations of the Scottish Episcopal Church, part of the Anglican Communion, which evolved with the adoption of Presbyterian governance by the established Church of Scotland. Its congregation originally formed as a breakaway from the city's St Giles' Cathedral. It has been known as Old St Paul's since the 19th century to distinguish it from the 'new' St Paul's at York Place, Edinburgh.
