Between Edinburgh Castel at the top of The Royal Mile, and Holyrood Castle at the bottom, stands the crown-topped St. Giles' Cathedral which celebrated its 900th birthday in 2024, 400 years as Catholic and the balance as Presbyterian. #photography #travel #tourism #edinburgh #stgiles #architecture

A picturesque, long shot of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, featuring several of the city's landmarks against a partly cloudy sky. In the center, Edinburgh Castle sits perched atop a hill, its stone walls and towers visible. To the right, the iconic Balmoral Hotel clock tower stands tall, its intricate architecture and clock face adding to the city's skyline. To the left of the castle, the pointed spire of St. Giles' Cathedral rises high into the sky. The Scott Monument, a gothic-style monument dedicated to Sir Walter Scott, is visible to the right of the Balmoral Hotel. The foreground features a mix of buildings, including residential and commercial structures, with the tops of several trees appearing at the very bottom of the image.

This morning in St Giles' before the fair later today
#StGilesFair #StGiles #Oxford

Walking thru St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. If you’re ever walking along the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, make sure to stop in St Giles.

Today, we remember Saint Giles, a gentle hermit whose quiet life of prayer and service drew pilgrims and saints alike. Legend has it that one day, while protecting a deer from hunters, he was struck by an arrow and left crippled. #jesus #jesuschrist #catholicchurch #catholic #saintgiles #stgiles

Lisle and Lucas - the two friends - were buried together in the North Aisle of #StGiles Church. After the restoration their tomb was marked by a plaque.

The site of their execution is today marked by an obilisk erected when #CastlePark opened in 1892.

Another ceiling at St Giles Cathedral. My framing isn’t quite right in this shot but it’s still a cool ceiling. Good morning from What’s on Heather’s Phone.

Looking up in the small chapel at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. I had never been inside this area and I don’t know how I had missed it before. How stunning is this? Getting ready to come home from What’s on Heather’s Phone.

St Giles Cathedral standing proudly on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, with late afternoon sunlight casting warm tones across its gothic architecture. The crown steeple rises above surrounding buildings as people walk by the cobbled square, blending centuries of history with everyday city life.
