Our home...
We meet in the Quaker Meeting House, 7 Victoria Terrace in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. This fine building was built in 1865 and purchased by the South East Scotland Area Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1987, and has been made fully wheelchair-accessible.
The building is open and staffed throughout the week. Please feel free to call in to learn more about Quakerism, or just to have a period of peace and quiet reflection over a cup of coffee or tea in the entrance foyer.
Meetings for worship are held in the large room at the top of the building; below this is a hall for social events, together with a library and a kitchen. The library is open on Sundays and may be consulted during the week by arrangement.
Wheelchair access to the Meeting House is from George IV Bridge along Victoria Terrace. There is also access from the Upper Bow from the Lawnmarket or from the steps up from Victoria Street.
Metered parking is nearby (free on Sundays) in Johnston Terrace, Victoria Street and Grassmarket.
Lothian buses 23, 27, 41, 42, and 67 pass nearby.
