635 years ago today. Elgin Cathedral was burned by Alexander Stewart, the Wolf of Badenoch, on 17 June 1390 after the Bishop of Moray, Bishop Alexander Bur, caused his excommunication for marital infidelity. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/elgin/cathedral/index.html
The spectacular view of Elgin Cathedral, the "Lantern of the North", from the top of its vertiginous north tower. A church was first built here in the 1200s and despite major setbacks the cathedral thrived until the Reformation of 1560.
