Charlotte Chapel (Edinburgh)

The congregation was established in January 1808, when Christopher Anderson, a young Edinburgh businessman, began evangelical work in the Pleasance area of the city.

Joseph Kemp, of Hawick, who was appointed pastor, began a revival, holding open-air meetings in Princes Street.

These celebrations included a large cèilidh at an area school, a formal luncheon at the Assembly Rooms on George Street, and a concert by modern hymn writers Keith & Kristyn Getty.

During the bicentennial, the church also saw many former members return and guest ministers visit, such as James Moser, Derek Prime, and American-based radio pastor Alistair Begg.

In addition, a scholarly book exploring the church's history and concluding with the 200th anniversary was later written by "honorary elder and former secretary" Dr. Ian L.S.
