St. Giles Cathedral

I always like going to cathedrals because we do not have these sorts of things in the U.S. I thought the outside of the cathedral was a little creepy. I also have never seen a cathedral smack dab in the middle of a large, busy street like St. Giles.



Richard gave a speech on an important piece of parchment that was signed by many of the men involved in the Scottish reformation. The stained glass was beautiful and told different bible stories. Bob Morris told us during a later field trip that many of them were dedicated to people. I had not noticed that before. I love places with huge, cavernous ceilings-- naturally I love ceilings in great cathedrals and churches. I also walked by the statue of John Knox.

I wonder if people realize how lucky they are to be living this close to history and place that tells so many stories.
