Elgin Cathedral, known as the Lantern of the North, is a ruined Gothic cathedral in Elgin, Moray, in northeast Scotland. Founded in 1224 on land granted by King Alexander II, it was the seat of the bishops of Moray and was once the second-largest cathedral in Scotland, after St Andrews. Its 13th-century west front and 15th-century chapter house survive today, and it is a scheduled monument managed by Historic Environment Scotland.
