Edinburgh Scotland Temple
During his general conference closing message on April 7, 2023, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Edinburgh Scotland Temple is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
Built on an extinct volcano, Edinburgh has been Scotland’s capital city since the 15th century.
The Edinburgh Scotland Temple will be the first temple in Scotland and the fourth in the United Kingdom.
At the time of the announcement, the United Kingdom, comprised of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, is home to around 185,000 Latter-day Saints in more than 300 congregations.
The other temples in the United Kingdom are the London England Temple (dedicated in 1958), the Preston England Temple (dedicated in 1998) and the Birmingham England Temple (announced in 2022).
