Glasgow Cathedral is one of Medieval Scotland's most magnificent
buildings. It is built on the site where St Kentigern, or
Mungo, the first bishop within the ancient British kingdom
of Strathclyde, was thought to have been buried in AD 612.
The present cathedral was built during the 13th to 15th centuries
and is the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland
to have survived the 1560 Reformation virtually complete.
Its wealth of architectural treasures include the elaborately
vaulted crypt with its collection of carved stones, the early
15th century stone screen and the Blackadder Aisle. This property
is managed by Historic Scotland.
