The church was built in two years at a cost of £18,000. The foundations were laid in March 1816 and the completed building was consecrated on Maundy Thursday, 19 March 1818.

The site, which was a market garden, was bought from the Town Council. The owners of property on the north side of Princes Street obtained in 1816 a private Act of Parliament, which prohibited the erection of any further buildings on the south side and secured their open view of the castle.

The church was designed by William Burn, one of the foremost architects of his day.

In 1833, a northern section of ground was acquired from it's neighbour, St Cuthbert's Church.
