The Dalmations allows members of the Church to interact socially. The group meets one Wednesday each month (usually on the last Wednesday of the month) following the 11.00 am said Eucharist. We do take a break during the high season summer months (usually May to July).

This is a group for all ages. The format is to have coffee in the Douglas Hall after the service. We then gather to hear a speaker (maybe even to ask a few questions too) for about 45 minutes. After this, a simple meal of a bowl of soup and some pudding will be served. The members are invited to volunteer to make the soup or pudding (not both on the same day). Everyone puts a contribution into the basket (around £3 is suggested) and expenses are covered that way. Usually we end by around 1:45 pm which gives plenty of time to pick up children or grandchildren from school!

Occasional outings are organized in place of the usual meeting.

New members of any age are always welcome, just come along – nothing to sign, no registration.

The organ began life as a one-manual chamber organ of 54-notes by the Edinburgh organ builder David Hamilton (1800-1863), probably installed in Dalmahoy House, then home of the Earl of Morton (now the Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club, in the same grounds as the church). Several features of the organ suggest that the original instrument dates from 1840, possibly earlier. The church was consecrated on 24th September 1850, and at some point before 1890 the organ was installed in the church in the alcove by the north door of the nave. Much of the surviving pipework is made of good quality thin, high tin content alloy, a feature of Saxon organ builders, and we know that David Hamilton received his training in Saxony. Later, David Hamilton’s brothers, Thomas and James, added the 30-note Pedal Organ.
