The Thistle Chapel, located in St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland, is the chapel of the Order of the Thistle. At the foundation of the Order of the Thistle in 1687, James VII ordered Holyrood Abbey be fitted out as a chapel for the Knights. At James' deposition the following year, a mob destroyed the Chapel's interior before the Knights ever met there. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, multiple proposals were made either to refurbish Holyrood Abbey for the Order of the Thistle or to create a chapel within St Giles' Cathedral. In 1906, after the sons Ronald Leslie-Melville, 11th Earl of Leven donated £24,000 from their late father's estate, Edward VII ordered a new Chapel to be constructed on the south side of St Giles'.

  • Thistle Chapel (dosł. Kaplica Ostu) – kaplica przy katedrze św. Idziego w Edynburgu w Szkocji. Kaplica zbudowana została dla kawalerów Orderu Ostu – najwyższego odznaczenia Szkocji. Tradycje tego zaszczytnego, elitarnego Orderu sięgają średniowiecza, ale w obecnej formie został utworzony w 1687 r. przez króla Szkocji Jakuba VII. Nawa opactwa Holyrood została zaadaptowana jako kaplica kawalerów Orderu, ale w 1688 r. Opactwo zostało splądrowane przez tłum z Edynburga. Potem kawalerowie Ostu nie mieli własnej kaplicy przez ponad 200 lat. (pl)
