Claire McCollum finds out what makes Edinburgh’s religious buildings and history so special with a tour of some of the city’s churches to see why and how they inspire our faith to this day. She visits St Cuthbert’s Church, believed to be the oldest Christian site in the city before taking a walk up to the world-famous castle and Edinburgh’s oldest surviving building, St Margaret’s Chapel. There she hears from members of a guild who maintain the chapel with fresh flowers and have a very unique membership criterion.\n\nOn the edge of the city, Claire uncovers the story of the capital’s own ‘secret garden’ in the grounds of an ancient church and how it creates a sense of peace and spirituality.\n\nAnd back in Edinburgh’s Old Town, Claire discovers some of the chapels and churches linked to one of the most influential people in Scotland’s Christian history, John Knox, who changed the face of Christianity in the country with the Scottish Reformation.\n
