Overview

Step inside one of Scotland’s noblest medieval churches. A tower from the 1100s formed part of a later church dating to the 1200s. Sir Rowand Anderson restored the cathedral in the late 1800s.

What to see and do

Gaze up at the four-storey red sandstone tower – the oldest part of the church, built in the 1100s
See the weathered interior walls of the nave, which had no roof for 300 years
Walk among the choir stalls dating from the 1400s – these rare survivals are some of the finest of their type in Scotland
Marvel at the ornate Gothic western doorway, a truly grand processional entrance
