Beskrivning
Discover the history and legends of St Giles' Cathedral, from rebellions to royals, from guilds to guillotines, and even a unicorn - Scotland's national animal!
St Giles' Cathedral (also known as the High Kirk) is a historical and architectural gem nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Visit this sacred monument with our Expert Guide to discover its Gothic architecture, royal heritage, and key role in the Scottish Reformation and the Enlightenment.
Book a 2-hour private tour of Edinburgh's Old Town with entry to St Giles' Cathedral, one of the city’s top-rated attractions (donation fee is included in the price). St Giles captivates with its Gothic architecture, a towering spire, and an awe-inspiring interior with the chapel of the Order of the Thistle. As you explore, you'll discover memorials to notable figures such as John Knox, the fiery preacher and leader of the Scottish Reformation. You will also learn about the signing of the National Covenant in 1638, and the church’s connection to the Scottish and English monarchs.
In addition to visiting this iconic church, your Private Guide will lead you on a stroll along the Royal Mile, one of Edinburgh's most famous and historic streets, full of charming shops, traditional pubs, and fascinating museums. You will see highlights such as the unicorn of the Mercat Cross, the Heart of Midlothian Mosaic, the 17th-century tenement houses in Lawnmarket, and the magnificent Edinburgh Castle, known as ""the most besieged place in Great Britain”.
