Founded in the 1120s, St Giles' was the church of John Knox during the
Reformation and is often referred to as the 'Cradle of Presbyterianism'.
Highlights of a visit include our beautiful stained glass windows. The
impressive Rieger organ was installed in 1992 and the famous Thistle
Chapel, home of the Knights of the Order of the Thistle, Scotland's
great order of chivalry designed by Robert Lorimer for the Order of the
Thistle, was added in 1911. St Giles' is situated on the historic Royal Mile, halfway between Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
