The Cathedral at Elgin was begun in 1224. At various points in its history it was burnt, the most notable instance being when Alexander Stewart, the Wolf of Badenoch set it alight. It was finally abandoned on 1560 after which it fell into decay.
In 2016 a number of the carved stones used throughout the cathedral were put on display in the tower.
Pa Sunshine wanted to see the Cornell Botanical Gardens and so we motored over to Ithaca, only about half an hour away: everything in the Finger Lakes, it seemed was about half an hour away if you planned properly. The gardens were nice enough though rather undistinguished, I though; the turn we took around Beebe Lake was a bit more fun. But since we were in the vicinity, I asked we stop by the Zeta Psi chapterhouse, as Cornell has a particular fine and ancient one, being the first fraternity on campus. It was the destination or waypoint of many a road trip back in my younger days, and certainly brings back the memories.
