St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican Cathedral, built between 1853 and 1855, in Gothic style. We admired the large nave, with columns and Gothic arcades. There is a beautiful sanctuary and beutiful stained glasses. I recommend a short visit here.

St Paul’s was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and built in 1855 on the High St The organ was installed in 1865.
It is a category A listed building and has been refurbished recently.
It was built on remains of a castle that William Wallace laid siege to.
The statue of Admiral Adam Duncan is outside and well worth a visit as well.

Apparently this cathedral was built on the site of where once stood a medieval castle on rock, hence steps leading up to the entrance.
It was designed by the renowned Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott in the decorative Gothic Revival style, with a lofty 200 foot spire & 8 bells.
The foundation stone was laid in 1853, and it was completed 2 years later.
Dedicated to St. Paul the apostle, it’s a Scottish Episcopal Church.

Passed by here today, intending to go in, but a large sign was on the steps. Cathedral is closed for the moment having lighting upgraded. Photo posted with details. Looks like as amazing building.

Tucked within the City Centre, St Paul's Cathedral is beautifully rich in architectual history perfect for those interested in visiting such buildings on their trip! The interior matches the exterior and is peaceful for those needing time away from the hussle and bussle of the city streets; the majority of time visitors are welcome and its comepletely free of cost! Personally, if you love history, architecture or photography, this is a must!

I am led to believe that there is a small part of the original castle in the grounds of the church. Is this actually true?
