Beautiful but a bit creepy
In the north of Aberdeen, St. Machar technically is not a cathedral, but retains the title. The building is in a place of worship established by San Marchar (Holy Celtic) in the sixth century, by information from another popular saint in Scotland, St. Columba, where he subsequently raised the building, what we today is Norman, XI - XII centuries. The first thing to note is how difficult it is to find and access, it's quite hidden but very well maintained by the priests and faithful of the area (belonging to the Presbyterian Church of Scotland). In full swing and with many worshippers, it's quite difficult to get good pictures of the inside.
The exteriors are beautiful although a bit creepy. Our camera drew the attention of locals so we concluded that it was not very common to see unfamiliar faces in the area, but this was no problem and the people were most attentive. This time we found one of those hidden corners of the city.
