Information

History:
The earliest authetic record for St. Giles Church is in 1224. That building stood until 1826 when it was decided to replace it with the present building, the foundation for which was laid on 16 January 1827. The architect was Mr Archibald Simpson of Aberdeen. the building dominates the centre of Elgin with its impressive temple front and 112ft high tower.

In 1906, with a need for increased seating capacity, St. Columba's Church in Moss Street was built, designed by Peter McGregor Chalmers. Included in the building is the pulpit from the old St. Giles Church dating from 1684.

The South Church was opened in 1854, being a second congregation of the Free Church. After the union with St. Giles in 1999, the St. Columba's building became known as St. Columba's South.
