Glasgow Cathedral

A nice cathedral that anyone can visit if they’re ever lost in life or are struggling and with the free entry, why not. I don’t know why but I always find comfort in cemeteries, churches and cathedrals. I guess it’s the idea that God Is watching us at that very moment, wondering what our next move or action we’re about to commit; we could be meeting the love of our lives, a new friend or a new direction in life that can make you slightly happy if you’re ever lost in life. The interior is pretty nice with a peaceful vibe to it.

The Glasgow Cathedral has so much history to tell! I should know, I stood outside listening to over an hour of detailed commentary! I was on a tour ready to enter when a group of students, bagpipe players, military, and priests took over and shut down entry to the cathedral itself. No one could explain what exactly was going on. Here's what I know for sure. You can enter for free/donation. It has a cool mysterious crypt of St Mungo inside. It changed multiple times to house different denominations. This cathedral also allowed filming for Outlander scenes. The area surrounding is peaceful and somewhat haunting. We took a walk around the back to see the cemetery overlooking the cathedral, which I highly recommend checking out. It is an interesting place to visit in Glasgow.

The cathedral is incredible to see as you'd expect and with free/donation entry it's a must see in the city. What surprised me the most was how much access you have. Pretty much the entire main area of the cathedral plus the crypt is open for viewing. There's a small gift shop and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Glasgow Cathedral is one of the city's most iconic buildings and one of the few examples of complete medieval architecture in Scotland. Located in the heart of Glasgow, it was constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries and is dedicated to St. Mungo, the patron saint of the city. The cathedral is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, with an impressive nave, beautiful stained glass windows, and a history that dates back to the early days of Christianity in Scotland. Inside, you’ll find several chapels and historic tombs, including that of St. Mungo. Though the cathedral suffered damage during the Reformation, it has survived through the centuries and remains an important place of worship and a popular tourist attraction.

We had such a beautiful experience at the Cathedral! Everyone was so knowledgeable and understanding of our little kids questions. You could see love of history spark in my son and that is invaluable to us

A fine cathedral. The stonework and woodwork inside is of high quality. Some of the stain glass windows are breathtaking. The place has many nooks and crannies to look into. Some interesting history, mainly surrounding St Mungo, and they even have some ancient stonework from older versions of the cathedral. Some nice sculptures and golden plaques catch the eye as you walk through. It has, as you might expect, a solemn air to it. We went on a Tuesday in the early afternoon in late July, the place was fairly busy but not too bad. Free to enter so obviously great value.

We took a tour of Glasgow Cathedral during our bus tour of Scotland, and it was absolutely stunning. The cathedral is beautifully preserved, and you can really feel the energy and history while walking through its grounds and inside. The Gothic architecture, stained glass windows, and intricate stonework are awe-inspiring. There's so much history in one place, from the medieval tombs to the connection with St. Mungo. Definitely a must-see if you're in Glasgow!

One of the most important architecture of Glasgow is the Glasgow Cathedral! It’s magnificently built (may not look like that from outside) but it definitely looks and feels great once inside. The stained glasses looked exquisite and is well maintained to this day. Lot of places to explore within the property and can take upto 30-60min, depending on your enthusiasm. It’s extremely quiet inside and best enjoyed that way. Do take your time to read the various stories of St Mungo and see the old artefacts!

Glasgow cathedral is stunning with its distinctive green roof and inside is just as magical with mesmerising colourful stained glass windows, St Mungo's tomb, and what was different about this cathedral is the highlighted message 'returning and into your arms' illuminated above . It's great to have a walk around the grounds to see some fabulous memorials and this is where the tv series Outlander was featured too so I would say this place is definitely worth a look around!

Glasgow Cathedral is intriguing with a rich, ancient history dating back to the 12th century. In fact, it's the oldest building in Glasgow and the oldest church in continental Scotland. The mysterious Gothic exterior beckons tourists inside where the interior displays impressive architecture. If you're in Glasgow, duck your head in here and take a picture. But don't spend hours. You won't need that. My favorite church in town? The Roman Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral, out of the way and quiet.

The Glasgow Cathedral is still a place of active Christian worship. Built around the late 12th century it is said to be located on the site of the patron saint of Glasgow. (Saint Kentigern buried in AD 612) This cathedral is next to the Necropolis. The outside of the building is impressive and the inside is well preserved. They offer free tours or you can walk around and at your leisure. Inside the Blackadder Aisle's ceiling is magnificent. The stained glass windows are gorgeous. You can also visit the crypt built for the tomb of St Kentigern and Bishop Wishart's memorial.

Visited April 2015: "Mesh of history" The Cathedral was in an area near other churches, a Necropolis, Hospital, and what seemed to be dorm rooms/halls for a university. It is dark Gothic architecture. It is also one of the few Scottish medieval churches (and the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland) to have survived the Reformation not unroofed. We checked out the Cathedral in 30 minutes, including the crypt. There was a tour going on and it was discussing the tomb in the crypt - St Mungo. Other burials to check out: Robert Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow; James Law, Archbishop of Glasgow (1615-1632); Peter Lowe (surgeon), (1550-1610) doctor and medical author; Charles Macintosh, inventor of the MacKintosh. We then walked a portion of the Necropolis before heading back to our car before the meter ran out.

Glasgow Cathedral is a beautiful cathedral in the city center. It's a pretty standard European cathedral in many ways, with the stone exterior, stained glass windows, and wood paneling up front. One thing that set it aside though, was that downstairs there is a smaller chapel, which does include some history about the cathedral, including how it sustained even after the Scottish Reformation. I would recommend browsing around this free cathedral, and also taking the easy walk down the path next to it to see the cemetery (Necropolis) up the hill.

First time I've ever been inside courtesy of my school's Memorial Service. Deceptively large building, going far deeper than you would at first expect. The stained glass windows are magnificent and it appears that a lot of the original stonework is still present. I'm not religious in the slightest, but appreciate the effort that would have gone into designing, crafting and constructing a building such as this, especially the thick end of 1000 years ago.

Glasgow Cathedral, also known as St Mungo's or St Kentigern's Chathedral is a lovely gothic building located north of High Street in suprisingly, Glasgow. The building itself is impressive and rather lovely. The site is the buirial place of St Mungo ( the patron saint of Glasgow). The cathedral in now in the care of the Church of Scotland although was originaly a Catholic cathedral. Steeped in history and worth a visit.

A lovely cathedral, has lots of little chapels bulit in honour of people who were bishops, priests, ministers etc. It has a lot of history with the tomb of St Mungo who brought Christainity to the Glasgow area. Currently under restoration. Pay a visit to the gift shop for a sovenir. Perfect for someone who loves to study religion and churches.
