VENERABLE EVEN IN RUIN IS ELGIN'S ANCIENT CATHEDRAL  

ON the south bank of the River Lossie in Moray stands the county town  

and Royal Burgh of Elgin, famous for its thirteenth-century Cathedral.  

Elgin has long and stirring history, and at one time it played consideraoie  

part in national affairs; its charter, granted by Alexander II in 1234, is  

still P^ e^ v^ ars independence the men of Elgin were among the staunchest  

suDDorters of the nationalist cause when William Wallace raised the banner ot  

revolt against the rule of Edward I. During the Jacobite risings of 1715 and  

1745, Elgin took the Hanoverian side. few weeks before the Battle of  

Culloden in 1746 and the final overthrow of the Stewarts, Prince Charles spent  

eleven days at Thunderton House in Elgin.  

Apart from these great national events the history of the burgh is largely  

bound up with that of its great Cathedral, which was founded in 1224. Forty-  

six veara later it was seriously damaged by fire. In 1390, however, it suffered  

worse disaster when the “Wolf of Badenoch,” brother of Robert HI.  

descended on it with company of “Wyld, wykked Hieland-men and set it  

on fire. The reason for this iconoclastic deed was because the Bishop,  

Alexander Barr, had incurred the Wolf’s displeasure by reporting some of his  

misdemeanours to the king. Within few hours the lovely lanthorn of the  

North” was heap of smouldering ruins. Wolf was excommunicated from  

the Church, but did penance at his father’s command, and promised to make  

reparation the scene anot her dark deed in 1554, when,  

during vespers on New Year’s Eve, long-standing blood feud flared up  

between the Dunbars and the Inneses, two powerful Moray families. Swords  

daggers glittered in the flickering candlelight, and before the combatants  

rould he separated many had died during these “Bloody Vespers.”  

1569 by order of the Privy Council, the roof was stripped of its lead  

to nav the troops, and in 1640 the General Assembly ordered the interior to  

be Snantled. Gradually the great Cathedral fell into rums, which today are  

carefully tendered as an ancient monument
