Thistle Chapel

Thistle chapel is a small part of St Giles cathedral. Lovely woodwork

Stunning craftsmanship. Must see.

Fascinating history and the guide was super

Marvelously detailed! well worth a quick stop.

Interessant mal zu sehen, ist ein Teil der St. Gillette Kathedrale. Sehr schöne und alte Kirche

Really cool place to go - I really loved Gothic Architecture, beautiful stained glass windows and weird religious orders steeped in strange tradition (do not expect diversity and inclusion when learning about the members)Massive shout out to the guide in suspenders in the Thistle Chapel on Sat 16/09/23 - he was super knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions about the order in a really entertaining way - got us all in gigglesHe honestly really made the experience!

내가 보아온 곳들중 가장 그 디테일과 성스러움이 가득했던 공간이었어요.

Esta pequeña capilla situada en la esquina sureste de la iglesia de St. Giles, corresponde la Orden del Cardo (Order of the Thistle) posiblemente fundada por el rey James III (1488-1513) para recompensar con este título a cuantos hombres y mujeres apoyasen al rey en sus objetivos políticos y religiosos.Hoy en día la potestad de nombrar miembros de la orden, corresponde al monarca .La capilla es de un estilo gótico un tanto particular con diversas figuras de ángeles en el techo y por supuesto con uno de ello tocando la gaita.Para mi gusto un poco sobrecargada pero merecedora de una visita.

Beautiful place. A real surprise when stepping inside the building
