WELCOME

Yester, Bolton and Saltoun Church is the parish church in the villages of Gifford, Bolton and East and West Saltoun and their surrounding area in the heart of the beautiful East Lothian countryside, between the open moors of the Lammermuir Hills
and the Forth estuary with its sandy beaches and lovely harbours.

We seek to be a church where people of all generations within the community experience and celebrate the love of God.

Find out more about us, our worship, and about some of the things we do. Read our news and about the history of our parish.

We are also on facebook, instagram, twitter and youtube.

​Our service this Sunday 2 October is at 10am in Yester Church with Sunday Club.  The readings will be taken from Psalm 137 and Luke 19:41-42 and the service will be live streamed with a recording available later in the day here and here.  We look forward to seeing you there!
