You can climb St Rules tower (with a ticket) for a great view . Pictish sarcophagus in museum with other Pictish & medieval stones. Cathedral is in ruins ! It was the largest in Scotland .

Gorgeous views from the tower and the history of the cathedral grounds is just incredible. Definitely worth a walk through at the very least!

I really enjoyed this castle! It's in ruins, but the audio guide is giving a lot of nice information. There is a tunnel that was digged in an attempted siege, and you can still visit it! ;) - Sabrina Gagnon
