Brechin Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Brechin, Scotland.
The cathedral features a massive square tower at its western end, accompanied by a flamboyant Gothic window displaying intricate stonework details.
Construction of the cathedral began around 1300, replacing an earlier Norman church established during the reign of King David I in the 12th century.
The cathedral holds modern stained glass windows in its choir section that represent important examples of Scottish ecclesiastical artistry.
Located at Church Lane in Brechin, the cathedral maintains regular services and welcomes visitors, with dogs permitted on leads throughout the grounds.
The cathedral incorporates one of only two round towers in Scotland, dating from 1100, demonstrating rare architectural elements from that period.
