Once the penny school of Robert Louis Stevenson, this unique one-room schoolhouse has served as the base for the 46th Edinburgh Company of the Boy's Brigade, a mission hall and much more throughout its long history. Today, the building is home to Canonmills Church - a vibrant church whose congregation has a long history of loving, and supporting, the arts.



The Irish poet John W Sexton’s phrase ‘spectators under heaven’ has inspired Michael Daviot, Claire McDonald and Janet de Vigne to present a wide-ranging selection of Irish poetry, drawing on both ancient and modern expressions of faith and spirituality. The intimacy of Canonmills Church – Robert Louis Stevenson’s schoolroom in times past – provides the perfect space.
