Edinburgh Central Mosque, Islamic center in Edinburgh, Scotland

The Edinburgh Central Mosque features two domes and a minaret rising against the Scottish architectural landscape at its Potterrow location.

King Fahd of Saudi Arabia funded the construction of this religious building, which opened its doors to worshippers in 1998.

During Ramadan, the mosque becomes a center for communal gatherings where Muslims share evening meals after sunset prayer sessions.

The mosque contains separate prayer halls for men and women, with facilities to accommodate 1,250 people for religious services.

The mosque incorporates traditional Persian calligraphy within its modern structure, combining Middle Eastern and Scottish architectural elements.
