St. Mary's Cathedral

About

St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh is a striking example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and crowned with three soaring spires—the tallest reaching 90 m. The cathedral is renowned for its richly carved stonework, magnificent stained‑glass windows (including the Paolozzi Millennium Window), a historical choir school, and a tower that houses 12 original bells. Visitors are greeted by the ornate west entrance on Palmerston Place, and the cathedral remains a living place of worship with daily choral services that showcase its musical heritage.
