Granton Parish Church
This church replaced the former Granton Parish Church at Granton Road, near Granton Square. The new building was on on Boswall Parkway, more conveniently located for the expanding population of the area, then being developed with new local authority houses constructed by Edinburgh Corporation.
The church was built as part of the Church of Scotland Church Extension Scheme, which aimed to provide churches in areas where the population was expanding.
The new building is thought to have been officially opened on Saturday 25 April 1936.
War Memorial
The War Memorial from the former Granton Parish Church was moved to the new building some years after it opened and is now located in the grounds to the east of the church.
