Glasgow Cathedral, Glasgow

As the oldest building in Scotland, Glasgow Cathedral (also known as the High Kirk of Glasgow, St Kentigern’s or St Mungo’s Cathedral) marks the birthplace of the city of Glasgow.

Inside this 12th-century cathedral you can admire the carved stone bosses on the ceiling of the Blackadder Aisle and the post-war collections of stained-glass windows. You’ll be amazed to hear that it was also the only cathedral to survive the Protestant Reformation of 1560 intact, making it a unique medieval building well-worth the visit.
