Humbie Parish Church

Humbie Parish Church is a T-shaped building with a chancel extension added in 1932, located in East Lothian within a historic graveyard beside a river. The structure is listed as a category B building and serves as an active place of worship.

The church site predates the Scottish Reformation, with the parishes of Keith Symons and Keith Hundeby merging in 1618 to form Keith and Humbie. This consolidation shaped the spiritual foundations that continue today.

The east window displays stained glass by Douglas Strachan showing scenes from King David's life, installed in 1950 when plain glass was replaced.

The church welcomes visitors and operates as part of a linked charge serving the parishes of Bolton & Saltoun, Yester, and Humbie. The graveyard is easily accessible and you can freely explore the grounds.

The grounds contain the Broun Aisle from 1864, a separate burial chamber erected after the family's private burial space was closed. This structure emerged from local concerns raised by parishioners about private burial arrangements.
