Review:

Glasgow Cathedral is one of Scotland's oldest and most magnificent medieval large buildings. Consecrated in 1197, the Cathedral is believed to have been built on the site of the tomb of St. Kentigern, a patron saint of Glasgow, who was buried on the site in AD 612, and the event therefore marks the birthplace of Glasgow.

It is the only Scottish cathedral to survive the 1560 Reformation undamaged. It is an exceptional example of Scottish Gothic architecture. Some of the most interesting features to pay attention to when strolling through the cathedral are stone bosses intricately carved on the ceiling of the Blackadder Aisle and a very fine post post-war collection of stained glass windows.
