About this Event

We are delighted to have partnered with Hayra to create a 25-minute tour that takes you on a journey of St Giles' rich histories and architectural features. The tour works like a simple playlist, and you can pause, play, and skip as you are orientated around the building.

T he tour is narrated by Joe Morrow, Lord Lyon of Scotland, and is an easy-to-use way of enjoying and engaging with our building at your own leisure.

Our audio tour is currently avaliable in English, German and Ukrainian. We pleased to say that we are in the process of adding other languages.

You can purchase this tour and then get onboarded during opening hours. Perfect for busy days when you have lots to see and don't want to miss a thing!

W hen you purchase a tour here, you will get a confirmation email that you can show at the Welcome Desk, and then you will be able to scan a QR code that takes you to the tour, so you can get started right away. There is also Wifi available to tour-users, so you aren't using up your data.

I f you have any questions, we would be happy to assist either in person at our Welcome Desk, or via [email protected]

W e do not provide headphones but would recommend bringing them for a superior listening experience. As we are a church, there may be some times where we have to close unexpectedly or it will not be possible to have audio in the building. If this is the case you will be given a full refund or we can find you a different time that works.
