Scenario part——interior

The exterior is fairly impressed and it is also fantastic inside. Most Gothic churches got a Latin-cross plan with a long nave and a transverse arm called transept. In St Giles, though the large scale would suggest a great sense of space, the many columns and the lower-level vaults break up the interior, limiting the vistas and giving the sense of a series of separate but interconnected areas. Entering from the west entrance of St Giles Cathedral, the choir place can be seen in the east end just standing on the nave. On the northwest side, there is a peaceful corner called The Albany Aisle that reserved for prayer and meditation. It is now dedicated to those who fell in the two World Wars. At the heart of the cathedral is the sanctuary, where the holy table and pulpit are surrounded by four massive central pillars that support the tower and crown steeple. These date from 1120 and become the oldest part of St Giles. Behind is the Holy Blood Aisle, the place people can light a candle and also request for prayer. Now we are walking in The Preston Aisle, the way leading to The Thistle Chapel. Through a low-vaulted vestibule, the chapel is a small room with a polygonal apse and the complex vault. It is famous for the display of heraldic, which symbolizes for the chivalry and considered to be one of the highest hornours of Scotland.
