The first stone built Glasgow Cathedral was dedicated in the presence of King David I in 1136. The present building was consecrated in 1197. Since that same period the Cathedral has never been unroofed and the worship of God has been carried out within its walls for more than 800 years.

Behind the cathedral , the necropolis stretches up and over a green hill . The Victorian tombs of the city ’s wealthy industrialists make for an intriguing stroll, great views and a vague Gothic thrill.
The most interesting part of the cathedral , the lower church , is reached by a stairway. Its forest of pillars creates a powerful atmosphere around St Mungo’s tomb .

This cathedral is beautiful! Gigantic and majestic, looks like that you're inside the old times! Best place in Glasgow so far.
Let the tour guides available there tell you the history. It’s free and they are brilliant.
Also known as the High Kirk of Glasgow, this cathedral was built in the 13th century. Don't moss the pulpitum, the Blackadder Aisle ceiling, and the crypt (tomb of St Kentigern).
One of the great cathedral that I've been in, a lot of rooms with beautiful furnitures

The entry is through a side door into the nave, which is hung with some regimental colours. The wooden roof above has been restored many times since its original construction .

We liked it. Fascinating architecture .
The cathedral , divided by a late-15th-century stone choir screen, is decorated with seven pairs of figures to represent the Seven Deadly Sins. Beyond is the choir .
Glasgow Cathedral is a shining example of Gothic architecture , and the only mainland Scottish cathedral to have survived the Reformation.
Come here before or after you go to the Necropolis
Beautifully gothic with Amazon stained glass .
Glasgow Cathedral has a rare timelessness. The dark, imposing interior conjures up medieval might and can send a shiver down the spine.
