I set foot inside it on a trip from Austin TX. Our group went in and I loved it! I am a spiritual and religious person that enjoyed talking to the staff and other tourists. I do want to attend a service here sometime. In memory of loved ones, I lit a candle for each. That day, I felt more peaceful and upbeat. It made me feel better about death and I could feel their spirits surrounding me.

I’m not a very religious person. Okay, I don’t believe in any of that stuff. With that being said, the stained glass murals at St. Giles’ Cathedral made it worth setting foot inside of a church. They were breathtaking. Is it kind of dumb that you have to pay two quid to take photos? Yeah. But it’s not like the cathedral has a ton of revenue streams. If it keeps this beautiful place open for years to come, I can deal.

Beautiful ceilings with amazing details. The art on the windows are very intricate with vibrant colors and images that appear 3D with the perfect lighting. Staff is very polite and friendly. The is a 2 pound fee for a permit to take photos. Donations are welcomed. There is a restroom available on the premises. There is a gift shop and cafe.

Second visit here at St. Giles Cathedral (first one in 1980). It may be the mother church of Presbyterianism in Scotland, but the CoS is about as far from her roots as she can get. The lighting was much better on this visit. Dark and gloomy last time. Paying £2 to take pics was better than buying them in the tourist traps. Lovely architecture and a moving place. The history of the place is presented well.

Well kept high "kirk," very Presbyterian, that is, plain, especially the sanctuary. The Thistle Room, though, is a Must See in Edinburgh. It's freezing cold so not always open because they can't keep staff in there to protect it. That said, they'll open it happily if folks are there to ogle it. Come to think of it, the Thistle Room alone elevates it to 4 stars. Oh -- yummy cafe downstairs, too. Good soups and broths.
