Elgin Cathedral was first established in 1224 AD and I can only imagine how spectacular it would have looked in all it's glory. It has enjoyed a long history, and survived the Wars of Independence, only to be burned in 1390 by Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan. He was also known as the Wolf of Badenoch.
The brightness of the day belies how cold it was. We all had frozen fingers and noses by the time we were done. Even though it was cold, we couldn't have asked for a nicer day. The brisk, biting air was invigorating.
Little Miss had a wonderful time strolling through the grounds, and she didn't want to leave when the day was done.
Rynie is always ready for exploration and adventure. We explored every nook and cranny we possibly could while Little Miss hung out with Floolie.
I love the silhouette of the cathedral against the Winter Blue sky.
Sunset at Elgin! One of the prettiest sites I have seen. It was incredible to see the stone light up as the last rays of sunshine shot through the clouds and the window ruins.
