High Street, Scotland EH1 1RE
St Giles’ Cathedral is one of Scotland’s most important churches and home of the Scottish Reformation, making it a source of turbulent religious history. Established nearly 1,000 years ago in the 12th century, its current building was constructed between the 14th and 16th centuries, giving it its beautiful Gothic style. Be sure to admire the cathedral’s famous steeple, which is topped off with a crown, and check out the Thistle Chapel inside, which features some impressively intricate carvings. Pop by on days when the cathedral holds live concerts, which feature a range of great choirs and orchestras.
