Description
Elgin Cathedral is known as the Lantern of the North. Constructed in the first half of the 13th century and ruined at the Reformation in 1560. It is still one of the most beautiful medieval buildings in the UK. The east end of the building is the most complete part of the cathedral to survive. The choir and stunning presbytery, dating from around 1270, are undoubtedly the climax, incorporating window tracery that was state of the art in its day. The fine stone-vaulted octagonal chapter house, dating from the 15th century, is the most complete element surviving.
