St Giles Cathedral
Standing proudly between the Royal Mile and Parliament Square, St Giles Cathedral is a stunning, historic church that has been central to Edinburgh’s history for centuries.
Sometimes called the High Kirk of Edinburgh, the architecture is breathtaking, especially the incredible Crown Steeple that tops the building. Inside, you can admire the stunning Thistle Chapel and the beautiful stained glass.
It’s a key piece of Scotland’s religious and political history, and a peaceful, truly beautiful spot to visit – best of all, it’s free to pop in and look around!
