Beautiful old cathedral right on the Royal Mile. It's a focal point of a lot of local tours so expect it to be pretty busy in summer especially.

    From the appearance of St. Giles Cathedral, it is so solemn and sacred! Entering the church, it is even more awe-inspiring, its architectural design, sculpture art, historical traces, all moving, it is worth your visit!

    We walked into St. Giles Cathedral, the landmark building in Edinburgh. This church, which stands on the side of Royal Mile Avenue, is the main church in Edinburgh and the national church in Scotland. The church was originally built in 1120, then destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1385. The top of the church is modelled on the Scottish crown, reflecting its leading position in Scotland. Walking inside the church, I feel once again that it is a very magnificent cathedral. This magnificence comes not only from its appearance, but also from its interior. The church was crowded with tourists, and we made a routine round-trip to see painted glass windows, organs and lecture stands, as well as sculptures on the walls. Very small and exquisite lecture stands are covered with reliefs. Such exquisite lecture stands are rare in churches. It is said that St. Giles Cathedral occupies a place on the list of 100 classic churches in the world, and it feels well-known after field visits. In the process of visiting the church, we also took a rest to read the Chinese materials provided by the church. Because the information said that there was a worship hall which was later expanded in the church, the staff were asked about the location of the church. As it happened, two foreign girls asked about the church, and the staff took us into a side room with the door closed. Entering this new chapel built for the Scottish Knights in the 20th century, it was immediately shocked by the exquisiteness in front of it. The small chapel was full of exquisite sculpture and beautiful layout. Bright colors, tall roofs, Knights'national emblems, exquisite wood carvings, vivid expressions. The staff who took us into this chapel kept explaining to the two girls. Because we could not understand, we could only follow the ray of the fluorescent stick in his hand to watch his explanations.

    St. Giles' Cathedral, which was built in the early 12th century, was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in the 14th century. The church has been a religious hub for Edinburgh for 900 years, and is famous for its famous canopy steeples, standing in the center of the Royal Mile connecting Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, is very impressive.

    A beautiful church with a Scottish crown at the top is the Altar Presbyterian of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. The Presbyterian Church of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland is a high-moral believer who was elected as the Presbyterian and clergy to manage the church entrance together. I always thought it was Wallace...
