Tour Scotland Photograph Video Holy Blood Aisle St Giles Cathedral Royal Mile Edinburgh

Tour Scotland photograph of the Holy Blood Aisle in St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland. In the Holy Blood Aisle you can light a candle and also write a request for prayer. The cathedral is named St. Giles after a sixth century Frenchman who became the patron saint of cripples and had many churches dedicated to him during the middle ages. He gained this patronage whilst living in a wood where he was friends with all the animals. One day a deer who had been shot by the King came running to him and he protected it.
