Elgin Cathedral to3357426jhp Elgin Cathedral front Scotland Spring blossom flowering cherry Twin Towers Arch founded in 1224 although a substantial ruin now cared for by Historic Scotland remains one of the most beautiful medieval buildings in Scotland. Here viewed from Cooper Park a large public area in the centre of Elgin. The transepts with their buttressed west towers and parts of the tall choir and nave date from the fire of 1270 but subsequent destruction especially by the Wolf of Badenoch in 1390 and later further destruction and neglect after the Reformation means we will never see this building in its true majesty.

Elgin Cathedral front Scotland Spring blossom flowering cherry Twin Towers

Arch founded in 1224 although a substantial ruin now cared for by Historic Scotland remains one of the most beautiful medieval buildings in Scotland. Here viewed from Cooper Park a large public area in the centre of Elgin. The transepts with their buttressed west towers and parts of the tall choir and nave date from the fire of 1270 but subsequent destruction especially by the Wolf of Badenoch in 1390 and later further destruction and neglect after the Reformation means we will never see this building in its true majesty.
