Christian Art Prints in Edinburgh

Faith Along the Royal Mile

St Giles' Cathedral, the High Kirk of Edinburgh, has stood on the Royal Mile for centuries, its crown spire one of the city's best-loved landmarks. John Knox was minister here during the Scottish Reformation, and the Thistle Chapel, completed in 1911 for the Order of the Thistle, is a masterpiece of carved wood and heraldry. High on the castle rock, the small St Margaret's Chapel, built in the twelfth century by David I in memory of his mother, is the oldest surviving building in the city. The three spires of St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in the West End, and St Mary's Catholic Cathedral near the top of Leith Walk, complete a remarkable picture of Christian Edinburgh.

The Trinity Altarpiece and Rosslyn's Carvings

The National Galleries of Scotland care for one of the great survivors of medieval religious art in Scotland: the Trinity Altarpiece by the Flemish painter Hugo van der Goes, made in the 1470s for Edinburgh's Trinity College Kirk and on long-term loan from the Royal Collection. Its painted panels show the Holy Trinity alongside portraits of King James III and Queen Margaret, a rare glimpse of the devotional art that once filled Scottish churches before the Reformation. Just south of the city, Rosslyn Chapel at Roslin, founded in the fifteenth century, is famous for the sheer richness of its carved stone. We cannot reproduce that craftsmanship, but the same desire to make faith visible guides the way we prepare every print.

Prints for Edinburgh Homes, Kirks and Classrooms

We are an online shop serving the whole of the UK, so our artwork reaches Edinburgh as instant downloads rather than from a gallery shop. That makes it easy to find the right piece in your own time and print it when it suits you. Here is how people around the city tend to use them:

• Tenement flats and family homes: A5 prints suit narrow hallways and deep window recesses, while A4 pieces give a sitting room a calm focal point.
• Kirks and church halls: refreshed noticeboards, framed prints in vestibules and simple images in prayer corners. See our guide to artwork for kirks, chapels and halls.
• Sunday schools and Christian schools: visual starting points for memory verses and Bible stories.
• Chaplaincies: quiet rooms in hospitals, universities and workplaces benefit from images that encourage stillness.

Grouping works well too. Three A5 pieces in matching frames make a quiet gallery wall in a stairwell, and they can be swapped as Advent gives way to Christmas or Lent gives way to Easter. Our cross, dove and praying hands designs are especially effective in sets.

Printing in the Scottish Capital

Each purchase gives you a print-ready PDF, with optional 3 mm bleed and crop marks, and a high-resolution JPEG. Both are prepared at 300 DPI in A5 (148 × 210 mm) and A4 (210 × 297 mm), and both are free of the light watermark that appears on website previews.

1. Print at home on a quality inkjet using matte or satin photo paper, with scaling set to actual size.
2. Use a print shop or photo lab. Edinburgh's independent printers can offer heavier fine-art papers, and university and library print services are handy for students and members.
3. Choose print-on-demand. A UK service such as Prodigi will print, frame and deliver if you prefer a finished piece.

If you are printing for a church hall, a test print on plain paper first helps you check size and placement before using heavier stock. Our printing help page covers paper weights, colour settings and framing.

Comfort, Celebration and the Christian Year

Many of the prints bought for Edinburgh homes are gifts. A framed verse can mark a baptism, a confirmation, a wedding or an ordination, and after a bereavement a gentle image of the Good Shepherd or an open Bible can say what words struggle to. Our seasonal pieces follow the church calendar through Advent, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost, and are released only in season, so a home or church display can change as the year turns. See the current seasonal Christian prints when each season arrives.
