Step back in time: St Machar’s Cathedral

There is no mistaking the sense of sacred antiquity about St Machar’s Cathedral, standing in the heart of Old Aberdeen.

It has been a place of worship since the 6^th century when it was established by St Columba’s disciple, St Machar. Legend has it God instructed him to build a church at a spot where the path of the River Don looks like a bishop’s crozier.
