Orientation

St. Giles Cathedral features a rare 15th-century Gothic lantern spire shaped as an 8-ribbed imperial crown. The 8 arched flying buttresses support a central pinnacle, creating a solar crown visible across the Edinburgh skyline.

The full decipherment and its observational protocol — where to stand, when, and what to watch for — are in the Edinburgh & Rosslyn Chapel field codex.
