*Dedicated to St Giles, patron saint of lepers and situated between Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, St Giles Cathedral was founded in 1124 and in the 16th century became the focal point of the Scottish Reformation. Regarded as the Mother Church of World Presbyterianism, the Cathedral was built on a ninth century sanctuary. During and shortly after the Scottish Reformation, it was reformed on numerous occasions to suit the rise of Protestantism. Whilst St Giles’ remains the Church of Scotland’s principal place of worship, it is not technically a cathedral as it does not have a bishop. It is still, however, very much a working church which plays an important role in the religious and cultural life of Edinburgh
