St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh (Catholic)

St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, also known as St Mary's Metropolitan Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the seat of the Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh and the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh.

Located in the city's New Town, at the eastern end of Broughton Street, the cathedral was designed by the English architect John Carfrae. Its construction began in 1814, but due to financial difficulties, the building was not completed and opened until 1879. The prominent spires, designed by John Carfrae's son, were added between 1895 and 1917. These three spires are notable landmarks in the Edinburgh skyline.

The cathedral's architecture is primarily in the Perpendicular Gothic style. Inside, it features stained glass windows, intricate carvings, and a high altar. The cathedral serves as a centre for Catholic worship and community life in Edinburgh, hosting regular services, ceremonies, and events. The relics of St. Andrew are housed within the Cathedral.
