St Andrew's Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in King Street, Aberdeen, Scotland

St Andrew's Cathedral displays Gothic Revival architecture with sandstone on King Street and granite walls on the remaining three sides of its structure.

The cathedral, initially opened as St Andrew's Chapel in 1817, gained cathedral status in 1914 under the design of architect Archibald Simpson.

The cathedral ceiling features painted panels depicting the arms of 48 US states, commemorating Samuel Seabury's consecration as the first American Episcopal bishop.

The cathedral schedules services on Sundays at 8:00 AM and 10:45 AM, with additional Wednesday services at 10:00 AM throughout the year.

The interior contains a gold-painted baldachino above the altar and an oak screen, added during renovations by architect Ninian Comper in the 1940s.
