Awesome Scottish cathedral. Free entry, but rather than a no photo policy (like Westminster Abbey), a £2 donation let's you take as many photos as you want. If you're walking down high Street doing your tourist thing, stop in for a few minutes to enjoy a piece of Scottish heritage

Beautiful cathedral, Grand Gothic Medieval building with colourful stained glass windows and Presbyterian place of worship, where John Knox first and used to preach carrying the history of Scotland. I highly recommend everyone to visit this stunning breathtaking architecture as you walk down the Royal mile. We really enjoyed our day the weather was brilliant. We'll definitely come again May break awesome. Cafe downstairs reasonable prices with homemade dishes, a wide selection of hot, cold food and drinks. Very friendly, helpful staff and volunteers. Clean and tidy environment. There's a very informative board that highlights things to pay attention to and where they are within the cathedral. Entrance fee is voluntary suggested donations of five pounds per visit plus two pounds to all the who want to take pictures. They don't mind any amount though for the upkeep of the cathedral.

Well preserved cathedral in the heart of Edinburgh. Donations accepted and encouraged but most people just file in for free. After our donation, the attendant gave us stickers that "allowed" us to take photos. Didn't feel special...everyone can!!!

Wow!! What a stunningly beautiful and awe inspiring cathedral. Didn't think the inside of this building could be much more impressive than the outside... how wrong we were!! Definitely worth a visit especially given the location.
