St Andrews Cathedral visitor centre and St Rule's Tower will need to remain closed for the rest of the weekend & should reopen Fri 1 Dec.
It looks like Skara Brae will need to remain closed tomorrow (Sat 25 Nov) due to the wind. We'll keep you posted π

John Knox died in Edinburgh #OnThisDay in 1572.
This carving of the religious reformer can be found on the pulpit at Dunblane Cathedral.
Mary of Guise was born in Bar-le-Duc in north-east France #OnThisDay in 1515.
Few would have predicted that she would end up becoming one of the most important figures in Scottish history.
The remarkable story is on the blog π

#OnThisDay in 1638, a rather rowdy crowd packed into Glasgow Cathedral to witness the beginning of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
It would go down as one of the most significant events in the history of the city and the cathedral π

Lovely visit to the beautiful and historic village of Dunkeld. What more could this traveller want? A boutique whisky shop and a Cathedral housing carved ecclesiastical stones from the early Middle Ages. #scottishtraveltips Historic Scotland #undiscoveredscotland
