Glasgow Cathedral is one of Scotland's underrated architectural treasures. Now rather detached from the heart of the city centre, it is also a lot less busy than many large cathedrals in other British cities. Ideal for visitors who also appreciate a sense of quiet reverence! The Cathedral is next to the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life, which includes a... more

This beautiful Cathedral is said to be the oldest building in Glasgow. It has visible features remaining from the earlier versions of the churches on this site including a chapel that dates back to the 1200's.

I am always caught speachless when I enter a really amazing cathedral and the Glasgow Cathedral is no exception.

Glasgow Cathedral is a must see! The building is beautiful, especially if you go on one of the rare sunny days. Be sure to walk around the grounds, and if possible, walk to the top of the nacropolis behind the cathedral for a spectacular view of the cathedral on one side and the city on the other. The cathedral is... more
