Services are held at 11.45 each Sunday, apart from the last Sunday of the month when an evening service is held at 6.00pm. The services are led by the Rev. Calum McDougall. Once a month the local school provides the choir for the family service.

Music for a Summer Evening

On Friday 12th June the Junior Choir performed Prodigal Rock by Sheila Wilson, supported by the Parish Choir on their debut performance. A thoroughly enjoyable evening by all accounts!  With thanks to everyone who made this happen - especially Conductor and Choir Mistress - Lorraine Mulholland

Below is our Minister Rev Calum MacDougall with his daughter Fiona at the coffee morning in June 08.  Almost £500 was raised for church funds so many thanks to all who helped

25 Years of Music

January 2009 saw church organist Lorraine Mulholland celebrating 25 years leading the music in Eddleston Parish Church.  As well as teaching at our Primary School, in her ample spar time, Lorraine also directs the junior choir and the recently formed adult choir.  Congratulations!

New Choir

In August 2008, a new adult choir started up in the Parish Church.  With both male and female members and from teenagers to grannies, the choir is ably directed by village music teacher Lorraine Mulholland.  We could do with a few more men though so if you're interested, do come along on Thursday evenings.  We meet in the Church from 7.30 - 8.30. Or call Lorraine on 730332 for more information

500 Years of the Eddleston Bell

2007 celebrated the 500th anniversary of the Eddleston Bell.
