St Giles Cathedral (Royal Mile), EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

St Giles Cathedral. This cathedral is dedicated to the patron saint of Edinburgh, and of lepers and the handicapped. Its heavy, dark Gothic style fits with the brooding castle a few minutes away and the rest of the sooty buildings on the Royal Mile.



Thistle Chapel. The chapel is a delightful surprise—a small, brightly decorated, colorful, fanciful gem buried in the gloomy cathedral. Famous royals Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince Philip were knighted here.
