In Old Aberdeen, the Cathedral Church of St. Machar — usually referred to simply as St. Machar's Cathedral — is believed to occupy the site of a small Celtic chapel erected by St. Machar in AD 581. The succeeding cathedral was founded in 1136, although the earliest work in the present building dates from the 14th century (it was completed in 1552). Of particular note to visitors are the striking towers on the West front, with their sandstone spires dating from 1518 to 1530, and the 16th-century wooden ceiling painted with coats of arms. Be sure to also pay attention to the stained-glass windows, most dating from the 1870s. If you can, try to time your visit to coincide with one of the frequent classical or choral concerts held here (details are available on the cathedral website). A shop is located on-site.

The cathedral has an extensive history and is worth seeing, it is open to the public during the day. It has been said that part of William Wallace is buried in the wall as a reminder to the Scots after his death in 1305.

A stunning cathedral dating back to the middle ages. Stunning stained glass windows and burial site of 1/4 of William Wallace!
