Named in honour of St Machar, a disciple of St Columba, the cathedral was built in c.1130 and has since undergone various restorations with the current iteration being completed in 1953. However, the site has been of religious importance since 580. The cathedral is only a cathedral only by name - The Cathedral Church of St Machar, as it is a Presbyterian church. The tour offers a 3D model made of photographs of the inside of the church with information points and ease of movement through the virtual space. Accessibility note: The ground outside the church is uneven but otherwise accessible
