The History of Holyrood Abbey Church
Holyrood Abbey Church of Scotland has its roots in two nineteenth-century missions begun in the Canongate area of Edinburgh by the Free Church and the United Presbyterian Church respectively.
In 1849 the Free Church decided to establish a mission at the foot of the Canongate and a church was opened at the corner of Horse Wynd and Abbey Strand in the following year: Holyrood Territorial Free Church Mission. Its first minister was William Balfour, who was followed after his death by Peter Macdonald (inducted 1896).
