Elgin Cathedral is affectionately known as the ‘Lantern of the North’. The proud boast by one of its bishops that his cathedral was ‘ the ornament of the realm, the glory of the kingdom’. Until the cathedral was burned down in 1390 by the Wolf of Badenoch, Alexander Stewart, younger son of Robert II, in return for the Church excommunicating him for marital infidelity.

Following the Reformation of 1560, the Pope's authority over the Scottish church was rejected and the congregation moved to the parish church in Elgin. The cathedral fell into disrepair and in 1711 the central tower and part of the nave collapsed leaving the ruin we see today.
