Tour Scotland Video Thistle Chapel St Giles Cathedral Edinburgh

Tour Scotland video of The Thistle Chapel in St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland. I wasn't able to get a very good video of this famous chapel, too busy and too dark today. The Thistle Chapel is the chapel of The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Scotland's foremost Order of Chivalry. The chapel was built in 1911 to designs by Robert Lorimer, at the south-east corner of the church. It is a small, but exquisite, chapel with carved and painted fittings of extraordinary detail. The Order, which was founded by James VII in 1687, consists of the monarch and 16 knights. The knights are the personal appointment of the crown, and are normally Scots who have made a significant contribution to national or international affairs.
