War Memorial Book

On Remembrance Day 2005, we installed a database to commemorate the lives of those listed on the War Memorials of World War 1 and World War 2. This also includes the names from the former North Merchiston Church War Memorial which was destroyed during the demolition of the church.

The book contains lists 141 names. We have managed to trace photographs of some of the fallen. In other cases the only reminder has been their gravestone and where possible these are included. It also, where available, contains information on where and how they died, where they are buried and their family. It brings to life the cost of war.

To obtain a copy, please contact the church office, tel: 0131 478 9675 or email
or contact the webmaster, tel: 0131 346 1179.
Cost: £6.00 each + £1 p/p.

 

Partner Churches sign their covenant

On 21 March 2010 in St Michael's Parish Church the four churches of Partner Churches joined together for a celebration of our partnership.
The Moderator of the Presbytery of Edinburgh, Rev Alistair Keil, and the Episcopalian Bishop of Edinburgh, Rt Rev Brian Smith, also joined in our celebrations. The preacher was Rev Peter Neilson who has done so much to help us on this journey.
