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 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.

We hosted an Interfaith Conversation Café on 4th February, as part of the World Interfaith Harmony Week. Participants from diverse faith and belief backgrounds engaged in interactive dialogue and discussions about religious calendars and festivals. Urzula Glienecke, our special guest from the Interfaith Alignment, also shared an inspiring video from the Calendar of Light. A closing Metta meditation gently brought participants' awareness back to the present moment, reflecting on the feelings of compassion and love.
Delighted to be invited to attend the annual Human Fraternity Day Conference, hosted by Ahl Al Bait Scotland and the Catholic Committee for Interreligious Dialogue. Keynote speeches on how we can support migrants and refugees through real-life acts of human fraternity from across the community were inspiring. #HumanFraternity
