South Leith Parish Church, South Leith, Church of Scotland

The church has a graveyard.

It was founded in 1483. and was formerly known as St Mary's.

OS maps from 1876 & 1893 show "seats for 1200".

In 1973, the congregation was merged with Leith Kirkgate.

Dunlop, in "The Kirks of Edinburgh" (Edinburgh, 1988, Scottish Record Society) provides an extensive history of the church and parish. The church website also summarises the history.

OPRs (Old Parish Registers) exist from the last few years of the 16th Century, although it is from around 100 years later (1692), that regular records are available.

Details of the registers, gaps, etc, can be found on the NRS website..
