Elgin Cathedral

One of Scotland's most beautiful medieval buildings, Elgin Cathedral is a magnificent ruin, much of which dates back to the 13th-century. Its many outstanding architectural features including the country's finest octagonal chapter house. This house is on the left of the below photo (the only building with a roof). This room was amazing! There was built in seating on the walls in the form of a bench that ran around the entire room. The acoustics in this room were amazing. Gaius loved running around the room. While Andrew and I sat on these very hard cold stone seats and sang all sorts of songs enjoying the acoustics of the room. This was our last stop of this touring Saturday.
The Birds eye view of Elgin Cathedral.
These two photos were taken from the top of the right tower you see in the photo below this on. Andrew climbed many, many, many, steps to get to the top of the towers and grant us this birds eye view of Elgin Cathedral.

This photo is taken inside Elgin Cathedral looking from the alter to the back of the Cathedral where the two towers are. The Cathedral would have been huge.
