Edinburgh Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Newington, Edinburgh, Scotland

The Edinburgh Synagogue building features a large central dome, red brick exterior, and Byzantine Revival architectural elements at Salisbury Road.

The Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation, established in 1816 with 20 families at Richmond Court, moved several times before settling in the current building in 1932.

The synagogue holds regular Shabbat services, offers classes in Tanakh, Jewish philosophy, modern Hebrew, and maintains an active adult education program.

The synagogue welcomes visitors through a registration form and conducts services every Friday evening with candlelighting and Saturday evening with Havdalah.

The interior contains stained glass windows by Scottish artist William Wilson, incorporating Jewish religious symbols with abstract and floral patterns.
