St Giles' Cathedral, also called the High Kirk of Edinburgh, is a Church of Scotland parish church on the Royal Mile. The present building dates mainly from the 14th and 15th centuries and is topped by a crown spire; John Knox was its minister after the Reformation. Inside is the Thistle Chapel, completed in 1911.

Greyfriars Kirk is a Church of Scotland parish church in Edinburgh's Old Town, built between 1602 and 1620 on the grounds of a former Franciscan friary. The National Covenant was signed here in 1638, and a small museum shows an original copy. The church stands in Greyfriars Kirkyard, laid out as a burial ground after the Reformation.
