Tour Scotland Video Interior Song School St Mary's Cathedral Edinburgh

Tour Scotland travel video of the interior of the Song School by St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Edinburgh. The Song School within the nearby Cathedral precinct is used by the Choristers for daily practice, where they are surrounded by beautiful murals by Phoebe Anna Traquair. It was these murals added between 1888 and 1892, which won Traquair national recognition. Within a tunnelled ceiling interior the East Wall depicts the cathedral clergy and choir. The South depicts Traquair's admired contemporaries such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, and George Frederic Watts; the North, birds and choristers sing together. The West shows the four beasts singing the Sanctus.
