Eric Liddell, the famed athlete, rugby internationalist, and missionary, whose story was told in the Oscar-winning film "Chariots of Fire" was a member of our congregation and taught the Bible Class.  You can read his biography on Wikipeida.

The Eric Liddell Centre, set up by local churches, also stands on Holy Corner.

3M's stands for Merchiston, Marchmont and Morningside.  Our wider church family there (along with Christ Church Morningside) includes Marchmont St Giles Parish Church and Polwarth Parish Church.  We take part in a number of shared programmes, social events, worship, etc.

Christ Church Episcopal Church

 Our nearest neighbours are Christ Church Morningside.

Over many years we have shared programmes and activities with this Episcopal congregation.   Currently, we employ our Youth Ministry Co-ordinator, Dr Scott Spurlock, jointly.  We share together in worship several times each year.

The United Reformed Church was formed by the union of several strands of the Reformed traditions - the Presbyterians in England, the Congregationalists in England and Wales, the Churches of Christ, and then most recently (2000) by the Congregationalists in Scotland.  At this point, MUC became part of the URC.  Today, there are 55 congregations in Scotland. 

We are a parish church of the Church of Scotland.  The CofS is our national church having responsibility for the whole country.  We are within the Presbytery of Edinburgh (87 churches).  There are almost 2,500 people living in our parish.
