Robin Chapel

Robin Chapel is a Category A listed church building in Craigmillar, Edinburgh, with carefully crafted interior features throughout. Stone capitals, wood carvings by Thomas Good, wrought ironwork by James Finnegan, and stained glass windows by Sadie McLellan form a cohesive artistic whole.

The chapel was founded in 1950 by Sir Francis and Lady Isabella Tudsbery to honor their son Robin, who died in the final days of World War II. This personal memorial became an important example of 20th century Scottish church architecture.

The chapel displays Scottish Arts and Crafts design elements throughout its interior spaces. The stained glass windows illustrate scenes from John Bunyan's literary work, giving the space a specific visual character that visitors notice immediately.

Access to the chapel can be arranged on weekdays by request, while Sunday Choral Evensong services provide visitor-friendly times to experience the space. Planning your visit ahead helps ensure you can access the building and enjoy its features fully.

The inscription above the entrance reads 'Come In, Come In, Eternal Glory Thou Shalt Win' and symbolizes an open welcome to people from all Christian backgrounds. This inviting message reflects the intention that the building serves a broad community of worshippers.
