Loida Garcia on Instagram: "Elgin Cathedral, known as the ‘Lantern of the North’, is one of Scotland’s most beautiful medieval cathedrals.
Work began on the cathedral in the first half of the 1200s, but it is the product of three main building phases.
The cathedral was once richly carved and adorned with stained glass and painted decoration. A fine collection of architectural fragments hints at the building’s lost beauty, while documentary evidence sheds light on religious life at Elgin.

MyInstaScotland on Instagram: "Elgin Cathedral, known as the „Lantern of the North“, is one of Scotland’s most beautiful medieval cathedrals.

Elgin Cathedral was founded in 1224 by bishop Andrew de Moravia and became the home of the bishops of Moray. The east end of the cathedral was greatly extended after the fire of 1270 to provide a more magnificent setting for worship. The choir and presbytery, built around 1270, show the influence of regional trends, but have a distinctive style unique to Elgin.

Surprisingly Elgin Cathedral was unaffected by the Wars of Scottish Independence but again suffered extensive fire damage in 1390 following an attack by Robert III’s brother Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, also known as the Wolf of Badenoch.

Perhaps the highlight to any visit to the Morayshire town of Elgin is a visit to the glorious cathedral which has dominated the town ever since building works began on it in 1224. Although much of the stonework is in ruins today, a walk around the structures that remain will definitely impress visitors, and it's no surprise to learn that the cathedral has been dubbed the 'Lantern of the North'. #Elgin #ElginCathederal Elgin Cathedral, Scottish Recipes, Word Building, Food Culture
