South Leith Church, in Kirkgate, originated as a chapel dedicated to St Mary in 1483. It was used as Leith's parish church after the Reformation of 1560, when the General Assembly ordered the previous parish church, Restalrig Church, to be demolished, although this was only confirmed in 1609. The steeple, which had been built in 1674, was demolished in 1836 because it was at risk of collapsing. Further major renovations were made from 1847-1848, by the architect Thomas Hamilton.
