In the Scottish Parliament, a motion has been presented to honor the 900-year history of St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.
Founded by King David I of Scotland in 1124, St Giles' Cathedral played a pivotal role in the Scottish Reformation during the 1500s when John Knox preached Protestantism from its pulpit.
Today, the cathedral serves as Scotland's national cathedral and has been a significant venue, hosting the late Queen Elizabeth II before her funeral in London and holding the Honours of Scotland service for King Charles III after his coronation at Westminster Abbey.
The motion acknowledges St Giles' as an "iconic" cathedral, recognizing its integral role in the life of Edinburgh and Scotland for nine centuries.
