St Columba's-by-the-Castle, Episcopal church building near Edinburgh Castle, Scotland
This stone church stands on Johnston Terrace with a single-nave design and a battlemented tower featuring triple arcading at the west wall.
The construction materials of St Columba's came from the palace of Mary of Guise, the 16th-century queen regent of Scotland on Royal Mile.
The church forms a local ecumenical partnership with Greyfriars Tolbooth & Highland Kirk and Augustine United Church in Edinburgh's religious community.
St Columba's opens for worship services on Sundays at 10 AM and Thursdays at 12:30 PM, with the hall available for events throughout the week.
The interior contains a 1959 mural titled 'Christ Enthroned' by John Busby, filling the blocked east window above oak paneling from 1914.
