EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and historical charm of St Giles Cathedral, a landmark located on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Victorian or Edwardian era. The cathedral's distinctive red sandstone walls and intricately carved stonework are illuminated by the warm glow of a lantern, casting long shadows on the cobblestone streets. The tall, pointed arches and flying buttresses of the Gothic Revival architecture are accentuated against the darkening sky, adding to the sense of mystery and wonder. St Giles Cathedral, also known as the High Kirk of Edinburgh, has a rich history dating back to the 1100s. It is the oldest place of worship in Edinburgh and has been the site of numerous significant events throughout history, including the coronation of Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1542. The cathedral's most famous feature is the Thistle Chapel, which is home to the Order of the Thistle, the oldest chivalric order in the Commonwealth. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Edinburgh's architectural and historical treasures. It invites us to imagine the stories and secrets that lie within the walls of St Giles Cathedral and to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
