Mensaje de Ian G Black

Elgin Cathedral, located in Moray, Scotland, was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and established in 1224. It replaced an earlier cathedral at Spynie and grew to house 23 canons by 1242. Despite surviving wars and fires, including attacks by the Wolf of Badenoch, the cathedral fell into disrepair after the Scottish Reformation in 1560. The removal of its roof in 1567 marked the beginning of its decline, with the central steeple collapsing in 1711. Conservation efforts began in the 19th century, focusing on the two western towers, but the cathedral remains a historic ruin today, showcasing its once grand Gothic architecture amidst the Scottish landscape.
