Our 4th visit to this city and perhaps the loveliest. Amazing how much difference weather and a bit of sun makes in this country

The Glorious Banners of St. Giles, Edinburgh

The interior of St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh on a bright, sunny day in July, 2018. I visited again recently but these are from my first visit.

I visited the cathedral with the aim to photograph it, but I forgot to bring my tripod! It was sitting in my suitcase in my hotel room. I did my best, using tables and benches and the floor instead to hold my camera steady.

A famous #StainedGlass window, at #StGilesCathedral in #Edinburgh.

The window tells the story of the 1570 assassination of the Earl of Moray, who had the ignoble honor of being the first politician to be assassinated by a gun.

The top panel shows him getting shot by James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh (a man who was angry that his family had been evicted from their home by Moray). Hamilton later escaped safely to France, and members of Moray's political enemies (kin to #MaryQueenOfScots ) were tried and convicted of taking part in the conspiracy.

The bottom panel shows his funeral, officiated by Rev. John Knox (who made an exception to his Protestant Reformationist beliefs in order to speak at the funeral).

This window was made in 1881 by James Ballatine and Son. Links and more information about the many beautiful windows at St. Giles are in the comments below.

The two-panel stained glass window of St. Giles Cathedral. A breakdown of each of the two panels is given in their individual images.

The top panel of the stained glass window of St. Giles. This depicts the Earl of Moray (in Knight's armour and a blue cape-cloak) being shot by a wide-barrelled gun (left). The crowd is shocked and afraid, many are looking up towards the killer, who is in a nearby balcony.

The bottom panel of the stained glass window. It depicts the Earl of Moray's funeral, with Reformationist Minister John Moore in a balcony (to the right), speaking to the crowd. The crowd is composed of a large number of well-dressed noble men (there are no women) packed tightly in the room. All are standing, except a scant few men in the front of the images, who are kneeling and weeping with grief.

Saint Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. Medieval cathedral, church ship in front, church tower in the back, grey stone. A gothic-style shaped window visible on the front facing to the viewer.

Slightly rust-colored plate in light-grey wall, saying:

Let the words
of my mouth and
the meditation
of my heart
be acceptable
in thy sighty
o Lord,
my strength,
and my
redeemer.

Psalm
19:14

Seen on a wall of the scottish parliament building in Edimburgh.

Scott Monument in Edinburgh, honouring the life and work of Sir Walter Scott.
Stairs in the foreground, a building based on four piles, forming the base for an obelisk-like upper part, richly decorated with stone work.

In der #StGilesCathedral in #Edinburgh kann mensch ganz um die #Orgel herumgehen.
Und wir hatten Glück dass die Sonne durch die bunten Glasfenster schien und Farbmuster malte.

Ich wünsche dir gute Wege.
