This was the first purpose-built synagogue in Scotland, opened in 1879 and designed by local architect John McLeod. The architectural style is ornate Byzantine with Moorish effects and the tympanum features an attractive round window with star tracery. The ladies' gallery also has fine touches. Below the body of the synagogue are committee rooms and the fascinating Scottish Jewish Archives Centre. Shabbat service is held at 10a.
