Glasgow Cathedral

Approx. Time: 1 hours
Activity Level: Easiest

This was the first stone built Cathedral in Scotland, and was dedicated in 1136 in the presence of King David I but this has been a Christian site for well over 1500 years. The ground was consecrated for Christian burial by St. Ninian in 397 A.D. The Lower Church houses the tomb of St. Mungo (also called Kentigern) who died in 603 A.D. St. Mungo was the Christian missionary who led Glasgow to become a major religious centre. Glasgow Cathedral's 13th century tower is the last remaining intact tower on a Scottish medieval church.
