Description
People wander along the High Street and through the open square which sits in front of the gothic St. Giles Church. A statue stands, looking down on passerbys, in front of the church, while on the road that runs to the left of the church, a horse and carriage makes it way down the street. The spire of Tron Church can be seen in the distance.

Location
Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
St Giles Kirk, often called St Giles Cathedral, is situated on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. A church has stood on the site since around 1120-1140, but little remains of the 12th century structure. St Giles played an important part in the Scottish Protestant Reformation with John Knox serving as its minister from 1560 until his death in 1572. The building has experienced significant additions, alterations and restorations during its history. The Thistle Chapel, a private chapel for the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, was added between 1909-11.
