- Het orgel van de kerk van Saint Cuthbert in Edinburgh is oorspronkelijk gebouwd door Robert Hope-Jones in 1899. Het was toen al het tweede orgel voor het kerkgebouw uit 1894. In eerste instantie had de firma Hill in 1894 een tweeklaviers orgel geleverd. Het nieuwe instrument was veel groter, en had vier manualen en 26 stemmen. Kwalitatief was het echter niet al te best, en in 1928 was een ingrijpende renovatie nodig. Deze werd uitgevoerd door de firma Hill, Norman & Beard. In 1957 herbouwde de firma Walker het orgel. Het kreeg nu een andere opstelling en de dispositie werd ook gewijzigd.
- Dit orgel was in 1994 aan een restauratie toe. De firma Walker bouwde echter een grotendeels nieuw orgel, gebruikmakend van het aanwezige materiaal. Adviseurs bij de bouw waren David Sanger en Colin Tipple. In de oude kas van Hope-Jones bouwde men een Chancel Organ, en op de galerij uit 1957 een Gallery Organ. In 1998 kon het nieuwe orgel in gebruik worden genomen. Enkele jaren later is nog een Bombard 32' op het pedaal geplaatst. Het orgel heeft een vierklaviers speeltafel, waarvan het onderste klavier is ingericht als een soort koppelmanuaal. De speeltafel staat op een aparte galerij tegenover het orgel.
