Church

Thank you to Bob Henderson for allowing me to reproduce this photograph of St Patrick's RC Church, taken in 2005.  The church is at the corner of Cowgate and St Mary's Street in Edinburgh, Old Town.

The church was built in 1772-74.  The south-facing facade was added in front of the church in 1927-29.

Interior

Here is a photograph of the interior of  the church, also taken in 2005.

School

Some former pupils of St Patrick's school would like to see a photograph of the school.  Do you have such a photo that I could add to the web site?  If so, please e-mail me. 

Thank you.

Football

This area of Edinburgh was known as 'Little Ireland.'

In August 1875, members of St Patrick's church founded Hibernian FC.  The club was based at St Patrick's Church until the early-1890s.  Its ground is now at Easter Road.
