Tour Scotland travel photography of stained glass window in the Cathedral on history visit and trip to Brechin, Angus, Scotland. The origins of Brechin Cathedral are thought to date back to the establishment of a chapel somewhere nearby by St Dubhoc or Duthoc in around 600AD. By the late 800s it seems that a religious order known as the Céli Dé, or Culdees, had set up a church in Brechin, possibly on the site of an earlier Pictish establishment. This first enters recorded history in 972 when King Kenneth II endowed lands and property to the religious community here.
