CHURCH OF THE HOLY RUDE
Don't think that this is the Church of the Holy Wicked! Here, rude comes from the Scottish rood, meaning cross, as in Holyrood Abbey. Founded in the 12th century, the building that stands here today dates from the 15th century, making it the oldest in the city after the castle. James VI was crowned here by John Knox in 1587, and its features are magnificent. The organ, first of all, but also the medieval wooden roof, the stunning stained-glass windows and the imposing pillars. A little piece of history well worth a visit.
