Elgin Cathedral, located in Moray, Scotland, is a historic ruin that was established in 1224 on land granted by King Alexander II. Dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the cathedral replaced an earlier one at Spynie. Over the years, it underwent significant enlargement and reconstruction due to fires and attacks. Despite falling into disrepair after the Scottish Reformation, efforts have been made to stabilize and preserve the remaining structure, including the intact octagonal chapter house and the two western towers. Today, Elgin Cathedral stands as a testament to its rich history and architectural significance in the region.
