Welcome! St. Margaret's is a loving, growing community of faith committed to making God known through proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.  We know ourselves as children of God's good creation.  We are dedicated to prayer, worship, and education.  We are committed to supporting individuals and families in their struggle for wholeness.  Through our mission, ministry and outreach, we share the power of Christ's love which brings peace and justice, and gives dignity to everyone.  We experience God's desire to nurture, heal, and sustain us and seek to spread the knowledge of this reality to others.

ST MARGARET'S CHAPEL GUILD

St Margaret's Chapel Guild was founded in 1942. The inspiration came from the Very Reverend Dr Ronald Selby Wright, CVO, TD, Minister of Canongate, who was known as the Radio Padre during the Second World War. As the parish Minister of Edinburgh Castle, he wrote a letter which was printed in The Evening News inviting women named Margaret to put flowers in St Margaret's Chapel which lies at the heart of the Castle. The enthusiastic response led him to found the Guild, under the patronage of Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret, who took a keen interest in the life of the Guild until her death in 2002. Dr Wright, as Minister of the Castle, became the Guild's first President, and was succeeded on his retirement by his successor in the Parish, The Reverend Charles Robertson, in 1978.

For the past sixty years, members of the Guild, all named Margaret, have continued to make sure that there are always fresh flowers in the Chapel.
