This is a past event

Join Dr Louise Page for a fascinating tour of our historic King's College Chapel.

As part of our Founders' Week celebrations we hope you can join Emeritus Lecturer, Dr Louise Page for a guided tour, giving you an insight into the rich history, of not only the stunning King's College Chapel, but also the founding of the University itself. 

Soak up the peaceful atmosphere of this wonderful building while you learn more about the history of founder Bishop William Elphinstone, some of the beautiful original features, and the stunning stained glass windows. 

Important information

The tour may take in some of the exterior features of the Chapel, so come prepared for the weather on the day. 

Each tour will last 30 minutes, but the Chapel will be open to visitors either side of these times should you wish to stay a little longer and try out the self guided tour app, or simply sit and enjoy the surroundings. 

Tour Times

  • Tour 1 - 11:00am - 11:30am 
  • Tour 2 - 1:00pm - 1:30pm 

Meeting Point

Please meet Dr Page inside the Chapel just before the start time of each tour so that it can start promptly. If you arrive a little late you may find that the group has moved outside for the first part of the tour to view the Elphinstone Monument in front of the Chapel.

No booking required, open to all.
