Can anybody tell me where St. Oran's Parish Church, Edinburgh was or direct me to a website that might help?

I don't think it can exist as a church anymore because it isn't coming up when I google it.

It might be the ticket office for the Edinburgh Festival!

This site states that St Oran's Church and St Columba's Church merged in 1948 to become Highland Church, which (through subsequent mergers) became Greyfriars Tolbooth and Highland Church:

The problem is that it's not clear which buildings were lost and which remain, but it seems certain that the successor church can now sell you a ticket to a show!

So the building you're seeking is either that one or it was located somewhere close by.

Try an email to Edinburgh City Archives:

OR . . .
If you can get to Edinburgh City Library, head for the Edinburgh & Scottish Collection. They've got two copies of
"Ceud bliadhna, a hundred years, being the centenary review of Edinburgh Highland Church, St Columba's and St Oran's, 1851-1951", shelved at BR 5346 C72 in the Adult Reference section.

Thanks so much Chris for your wonderful answer and the Highland Church would make a lot of sense given the parties to the marriage. Brilliant!
