St Nicholas Buccleuch Parish Church
St. Nicholas Buccleuch Parish Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland. It is part of the Presbytery of Lothian and Borders. The Church of Scotland traces its history from St Ninian, who came to Scotland in 397 AD, through the Scottish Reformation, led by John Knox among others, to the present. It is Presbyterian in government.
There has been a place of Christian worship on this site since at least the 11th Century. The present building, which has undergone many changes, dates from the early 15th Century. In 2020, we marked the 600th anniversary of our church.
St. Nicholas Buccleuch Parish Church is an ancient church with a modern purpose. Set in the heart of Dalkeith, the congregation seeks to serve God and this community in ways relevant to the 21st Century.
You don’t need to sign up to a long list of beliefs to come to church. You don’t need to know all the answers to belong. All you need is a sense of the spiritual dimension of life and a desire to experience it more fully.
All are welcome.
