The cathedral was once known as the 'Lantern of the North' must have been a very imposing building. It was sacked by the 'Wolf of Badenoch' in 1390 and following further disasters its central tower collapsed 1711 after which the building became a quarry until c1807.

Hi Doug, I thank you for your comments, I didn't know this story though I was in Elgin for holidays.
