Palmerston Place Church, Edinburgh

150th Anniversary of Palmerston Place Church

The Palmerston Place Church building was opened for public worship on 25th May 1875. To celebrate this 150th anniversary milestone, we enjoyed a special Anniversary Weekend in May 2025.

We were delighted to welcome back our former Director of Music to play our 1991 II/29 Wells-Kennedy Organ, which will have been completed overhauled and cleaned ready for an anniversary performance.
