 Elgin Cathedral Tower High View Panorama East Chapel Vaulted Roofs Moray Highlands founded in 1224 and viewed from the North Tower looking eastwards. Although a substantial ruin now cared for by Historic Scotland remains one of the most beautiful medieval buildings in Scotland. 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 Tower High View Panorama East Chapel Vaulted Roofs

Moray Highlands founded in 1224 and viewed from the North Tower looking eastwards. Although a substantial ruin now cared for by Historic Scotland remains one of the most beautiful medieval buildings in Scotland. 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.
