Elgin Cathedral

Highlights

• The wonderful 13th-century west front – one of the finest architectural sights in Scotland.
• The stone bishop – this ‘larger-than-life’ statue in the nave looks for all the world like a giant chess piece.
• The 15th-century chapter house – the ‘board room’ of the cathedral authorities still stands remarkably complete.
• Scotland’s tallest gravestone – placed against the south choir aisle, it stands 5m high and records the Anderson family of Linkwood from 1674 to 1813.
