According to legend, St Machar founded a site of worship in Old Aberdeen in about 580. Since then many transformations took place and the Cathedral is a fine example of a fortified kirk. With twin towers built in the fashion of fourteenth-century tower houses. Their walls have the strength to hold spiral staircases to the upper floors and battlements. The spires which presently crown the towers were added in the 15th century. There has been considerable investment in recent years in restoration work and the improvement of the display of historic artefacts at the Cathedral. this image depicts the cathedral in a foggy morning.
