Have you heard of Circus Lane? Everyone has heard of Princes Street, but believe me this little hidden gem is the real jewel in Edinburgh's urban crown.

Certainly it's not a long, grand walk, but the cobbled street, ivy-framed door-ways, and quirky charm of it's characterful buildings are sure to win you over.

St. Stephen’s Church, at the top end up of Circus Lane has the unusual distinction of being home to Europe’s longest clock pendulum.

St Stephen's Church (Edinburgh)

Highlight • Religious Site

Saint STEPHEN, patron saint of this church in Edinburgh, is one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem community and is the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates him on the second day of Christmas, December 26th.
When Stephen expressed his vision of the open heavens, "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.
