St. Columba's-by-the-Castle

Outstanding Hall Hire in Edinburgh – a great ceilidh venue

The church and hall were built in the 1840’s to serve the people of Edinburgh’s Old Town. In 1998 we renovated the buildings to provide space for community use.

The Hall and Garden are available to let for morning, afternoon or evening sessions every day except Sunday.
