The church holds the prestigious designation of a Category A listed building and forms part of the Old Town and New Town of Edinburgh, UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Gothic architecture complements the tapestry of autumnal trees that adorn the city"s streets and parks. Beyond the city limits, Edinburgh"s skyline is framed by the rugged majesty of the Scottish mountains.
