Scotland Edinburgh

St. Giles' Cathedral, known as High Kirk of Edinburgh, is the capital of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh. The church tower is a feature of the Edinburgh skyline. The present church dates from the late 14th century, but was extensively restored in the 19th century and is a listed building. It is considered the "Mother Church of Presbyterianism". The cathedral was dedicated to Saint Giles, patron saint of Edinburgh, cripples and lepers.
