Stenhouse St. Aidan's Parish Church
Gorgie Road, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH14 1TA

The area is well served by Edinburgh's bus routes, and Slateford Train station is not far away. It is approximately 2 miles from the city centre.
The Church buildings are on the corner at the main junction of Gorgie Road and Chesser avenue. Gorgie Road (which becomes Calder Road) is one of the main arterial routes into the city centre.

We are just opposite a Kwikfit and an RBS branch. There are three church buildings - the main sanctuary, the Edgar Hall and the New Hall - all of which have doors unto the street. The main sanctuary is accessed through the gates on Gorgie Road and entered up a couple of steps via the double doors.
