Mosques • Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, offers a modest but established network of prayer places for its Muslim community. The mapped records show several mosques and Islamic centres both within the city and in neighbouring towns. Within Edinburgh itself, two prominent mosques are listed: Annandale Mosque on Annandale Street (1.2 km from the city centre) and Blackhall Mosque on House O'Hill Road (3.4 km away). These provide local prayer facilities for residents and visitors in the city's central and northern areas.

Beyond Edinburgh's boundaries, the listed prayer places extend into nearby towns, reflecting the regional spread of Muslim life. In Livingston, about 20 km west, there are three centres: Livingston Islamic Centre & Mosque on Glen Road, Livingston Central Mosque on Craigshill East Road, and Anware Madina Mosque & School Trust also on Craigshill Road. Dunfermline, roughly 20 km north, hosts the Dunfermline Islamic Centre on Woodmill Road and Green Dome Mosque on Canmore Street. Further afield, Bathgate Mosque (28 km west) and Alloa Mosque (41 km north-east) serve their respective communities.

This distribution shows that while Edinburgh's city centre has direct prayer-place access, many Muslims in the wider Lothian and Fife regions rely on centres in Livingston, Dunfermline, and beyond. The listings are based on available mapped records, and users should verify addresses and contact details directly. For those living in or visiting Edinburgh, the Annandale and Blackhall mosques are key points of reference, while the surrounding towns offer additional options for Friday prayers and community activities.

Check the address and distance of each mosque before visiting. Contact details may be available online or via local community boards. Prayer times vary; confirm directly with the mosque. Some mosques may have separate entrances or facilities for women—verify in advance. Always respect local customs and dress modestly.
