The Cathedral was constructed primarily of red sandstone. Two sections, the chapter house and the nave's south aisle, still stand on location. The outline of the remainder of the cathedral complex was revealed by excavations in 1873. The cathedral building appears to have begun, probably in the early-to-mid-13th-century, as an "extended rectangle" with a tower in the north-west, and a chapter house and sacristy north of the choir. The south-eastern chapel, aisle and porch were commissioned by Euphemia I, Countess of Ross in the late 14th-century, but likely replaced earlier building. These portions of the cathedral resemble work at Elgin Cathedral from the same period, something that can be attributed to the fact that its bishop Alexander de Kylwos had earlier been Dean of Moray
