Interfaith Scotland is the national interfaith organisation for Scotland.
We work to help ensure good relations between Scotland’s diverse religion and belief communities.
We also share good practice in interfaith dialogue, education, engagement and training nationally and internationally.
We were honoured to win Charity of the Year at the Scottish Charity Awards in June 2025.
We are proud to be part of a movement striving for peace and building a more welcoming and inclusive Scotland for all.

Short Film: Celebrating Twenty Years of Scottish Interfaith Week
We celebrated twenty years of Scottish Interfaith Week in November 2024 and produced a film to honour the anniversary.
“Since its inception, we have engaged thousands of people in celebrating the rich religious and and cultural diversity of Scotland, through dialogue and so many creative activities such as music, dance, exhibitions, storytelling, poetry, ceilidhs, and family fun days. Basically celebrating the joy of being together and connecting.” – Dr Maureen Sier, Director of Interfaith Scotland

The Board of Interfaith Scotland are concerned to learn of yesterday's attacks against members of the Muslim community across Edinburgh. These incidents included the stabbing of two young students in Broomhouse and an assault on a Muslim taxi driver. We stand together with our Muslim community and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this difficult time. Please do not allow these hateful acts to overshadow the love, respect and unity we feel for our sisters and brothers in the Muslim community and people of all our diverse faiths and beliefs in Scotland.
