Earlier this week I wrote an article about Glasgow to tie in with a conference happening next year, and as a part of this I ventured into the city to take some photographs to help illustrate it. On my shopping list was the Kelvingrove Museum, and Glasgow Cathedral, and so it was a little disappointing to discover both covered in scaffolding! However, I ventured into the Cathedral, and I thought you might like to see some of the images from what is a stunning building. The cathedral was built in 1136 on a site beside the Molendinar burn (stream), and is dedicated to Glasgow's patron saint, St. Kentigern, better known as St. Mungo. It is also located adjacent to the Glasgow Necropolis, our city of the dead.
