Crown of the Mile: St Giles Cathedral’s Timeless Majesty

#holidayitinerary

St Giles Cathedral, perched proudly on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, was a stunning blend of history and reverence. Its iconic crown steeple drew me in, but it was the interior that truly mesmerized, soaring arches, radiant stained glass, and the exquisite Thistle Chapel with its gold-leaf ceiling and intricate carvings. I joined a free guided tour and was swept into tales of reformers, royals, and centuries of Scottish spirit. The atmosphere was peaceful yet powerful, perfect for quiet reflection. St Giles isn’t just a church, it’s a living monument to Scotland’s soul, echoing with stories and standing gracefully through time
