The Thistle Chapel, located in St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, is a chapel dedicated to the Order of the Thistle. It was built in the early 20th century after the original chapel was destroyed by a mob. The construction of the chapel was overseen by architect Robert Lorimer, who assembled a team of skilled artisans to create a stunning example of Gothic architecture. The chapel is known for its intricate stonework, beautiful stained glass windows, and exquisite woodwork. It continues to be used by the Knights of the Thistle for their annual meetings. Overall, the Thistle Chapel is a remarkable testament to Scottish craftsmanship and serves as a symbol of Scottish patriotism and monarchy.
