Thistle Trust funds are applied to meet expenditure in connection with religious services and other events held in the Robin Chapel, Craigmillar, Edinburgh and on maintenance of the building. The Robin Chapel employs its own Chaplain but also has a core of visiting ministers, deacons and priests who regularly lead the worship at the chapel. A resident organist and choir are also in attendance at services. The chapel has its own small congregation but welcomes a number of groups from residential homes, schools, older people’s groups and other church groups. Baptisms, weddings and funerals also occasionally take place. A general service is held every Sunday.
