Our Building
Our building and offices are at 104 Gilmore Place, Edinburgh EH3 9PL.
Bus routes 10 and 27 stop just outside, and there are several routes that stop along nearby Fountain Park and Bruntsfield Place. We have a bike rack on our property.
Parking near the building is free in some places on Sundays and metered during the rest of the week. Please make sure that you don’t block any private driveways or make it hard for people to get off their driveways. The nearest long-stay parking is at Fountain Park, where you can get four hours’ free parking if you visit one of the brands on the site and validate your parking.
Accessibility
Our building was not built with accessibility concerns in mind, so we have had to adapt it as best we can. We understand that coming to a building for the first time can cause anxiety, so if you have any questions, please contact us in advance using the form below and we’ll do all we can to help you.
Our side entrance on Gilmore Place is at ground level and there is a doorbell at accessible height. Please be aware that the doors open outwards.
Through the side door, you will find a foyer with an accessible toilet. We have installed two platform lifts (the platform dimensions are 1000mm x 800mm), one of which goes down to the side hall, and one which goes up to the auditorium. There is lots of space in the auditorium for wheelchair users.
The rooms which are not currently accessible for wheelchair users are the Hub, the Lower Side Hall, the Library, and the Office.
History
Our building was built in 1871-72 in response to God’s work in growing a local church’s population. You can learn much more about its story on its Wikipedia page.
