St Machar's Cathedral Concerts 2024

My favorite place. I used to walk through here almost everyday. It's incredibly beautiful. Inside the cathedral is beautiful, peaceful and Very serene. The immense age of the building and grounds give an intense feeling. It has undergone wonderful restoration and full functionality both as a cathedral and museum.

I highly recommend coming here early in the morning, before the other visitors, and feeling the sheer, unvarnished serenity and Majesty of the space. It evokes eternity and harmony, a realm beyond the capricious and transient impulses that colour everyday life. There is such a sophistication and artistry in the ornamentation and the stained glass, and yet the stonework emblematizes a raw and rustically earnest sincerity. A clear intimacy, an observational closeness to small details, permeates this building even considering its size and grandeur. The ethereal weight of ages breathes in this building.

Amazing interior, equal to the outside. The setting is magical and the crowning glory are the staff very friendly and ready to help with information. Could spend all day walking around the cathedral reading the epitaphs and dedications. Go up to the gallery for ghe best view of the ceiling and windows.

Holy impressive ancient church Cathedral, will impress history enthusiasts and spiritually minded. Very serene inside, though some understandably suspicious staff guarding the collection of art, tapestries and stone carvings. The immense age of the building and grounds is only matched by its wonderful restoration and full functionality both as a cathedral and museum. Probably slightly traumatic if you were brought up religious or are a dirty heathen but gorgeous nonetheless.

Beautiful, well-preserved church with an old cemetery. Indescribably beautiful wood panelling on the ceiling. Great history. Free admission. Well worth a visit.
