Images of Glasgow Cathedral
Glasgow Cathedral is probably the
most impressive building in the city,
built from the late 1100s, now one of
the top visitor attractions in the
City. In August 1560, the Scottish
Parliament passed a series of Acts to
dismantle the Catholic Church in
Scotland. At that time, celebrating
mass, and communicating with the Pope
in Rome, was made illegal. Many of the
Catholic buildings were looted at that
time, and their stonework taken for
other buildings.
Glasgow Cathedral was the only
cathedral on the Scottish mainland to
avoid being damaged, as the Reformers
were persuaded to spare it. During that
turbulent time, the Archbishop fled to
France with the Cathedral's Relics and
Jewels. The precious objects have never
been returned.
