Our garden is set in a spectacular location, nestling just below the castle and looking out over the historic Grassmarket and Heriots School. The local streets can be overwhelmingly hectic so many visitors appreciate our drop-in refuge. The garden is a south-facing, sheltered terrace run on insect-friendly, sustainable principles by Eco-Church volunteers. There are benches and some gentle prayer opportunities such as a Pebble- prayer pool.
