St Mary Star of the Sea RC Church, Roman Catholic church in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland
The church building at 106 Constitution Street features a high braced collar roof, simple pointed arcades, and multiple stained glass windows throughout its structure.
Built in 1852 by architects E.W. Pugin and Joseph Hansom, the church received its north aisle in 1900 and underwent significant modifications including a new chancel in 1912.
The dedication to Our Lady, Star of the Sea reflects the maritime connections of Leith, where seafaring traditions shaped the local community identity.
The church holds services Tuesday through Friday at noon, Saturday evening at 6 PM, and Sunday morning at 10:30 AM, with visiting hours throughout the week.
Archaeological excavations in 2004 revealed remains of Balmerino House from 1631 and human remains dating back to the 16th century beneath the church grounds.
