We are a small church with about 200 members. We are very friendly folk and extend a warm welcome to any visitors who may decide to worship with us. We love children and are happy to have a number of little ones who join us during the main Sunday service in their own corner.
Our Rector is the Revd. Eleanor Morson who came to St Mark’s in 2000 with her husband, John.

We are beside the sea on the eastern side of Edinburgh, on Portobello’s High Street.

MORE ABOUT ST MARK’S

THE CHURCH IS 175 YEARS OLD

St Mark’s is one of the oldest Episcopal churches in the Diocese, having been consecrated on 21st August 1858. On Sunday 24th August, 2003, which dawned sunny and warm, we held a Thanksgiving Service led by the Bishop, the Right Revd. Brian Smith, to celebrate our 175th anniversary. This was a joyful occasion, attended by many former clergy and friends from past years as well as several of our tiniest and newest members. The children presented a banner of their own making, which was blessed and duly displayed by the side altar. After the service, one of our oldest members cut a beautiful cake made by a talented member of the congregation, followed by a buffet lunch when members and guests could share memories and renew old friendships. A happy day.
