About Us

St Columba’s has a rich and interesting history and has become a home from home for many Scots who have moved down from Scotland. We also attract many other nationalities, perhaps because they have Scottish or Presbyterian ancestors, or because something drew them into the Church, for example a Baptism, Scottish Country Dancing or the Night Shelter and they decided they liked the atmosphere and that they would like to be part of it.
