Following a 15-month closure for modernisation, Holyrood Abbey Church is set to reopen its doors.

The refurbished church, which was redesigned by Malcolm Fraser Architects, will open for the first time for an Easter Sunday service.

Pews and hymn books in the church have been replaced with comfortable seats and digital projectors.

The £1.6m redevelopment for the church, which is near Meadowbank in Edinburgh, was funded by members of the Church of Scotland congregation.

The new church halls are to be used as a meeting place for church and community activities including a youth club and courses on Christianity.

The church's minister, Rev Phil Hair,said: "We are delighted to be able to move back into our church and are thankful to God for the successful completion of the building works. "

The last service in the church took place in January 2006, two weeks before the contractors moved in.
