The present church building was completed in 1690 and sits on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. Both the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Edinburgh Castle lie within the Parish of Canongate, as does the Scottish Parliament. Canongate Kirk is also recognised as the Military Church in Scotland's Capital City. Considerable changes to the interior were carried out after World War II when two major 19th century additions to the church were removed: the wall which blocked off the nave from the apse; and the side galleries. At the same time, new furnishings were presented: particularly the stalls in the apse, the Royal Pew, the Governor's Pew and the Choir Stalls. The organ was designed and built by Th. Frobenius of Copenhagen, Denmark and is situated in the gallery over the entrance. It is a memorial to The Very Reverend Ronald Selby Wright CVO, TD, DD, FRSE, who was Minister at Canongate from 1937 to 1977, and was dedicated on Sunday 15 November 1998.
