The parish includes the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament. It is also the parish church of Edinburgh Castle, even though the castle is detached from the rest of the parish.

The late Queen Elizabeth II used to attend services in the church on some of her frequent visits to Edinburgh.
