A moving experience
St Cuthbert's church is a small Presbyterian church in Edinburgh that you can see from afar. The gates open onto Lothian Road.

The engravings, windows, and pulpit are beautiful, and be sure to sign the visitors' book as you leave.

There are ancient gravestones, mausoleums that belonged to wealthy families, plain slabs ... and beyond them is one of the most beautiful views of the city, with the majestic castle perched high on volcanic rock. It is a really moving place.
