  • There isn't an entry fee into Glasgow Cathedral but believe me you won't hesitate putting money into the donation box on your way out. It is a magnificent place to visit. The cathedral is breathtaking when you first see it, perfectly positioned with the graves on a steep hill behind it. There are plenty people around to ask about different things. It is like a tardis with room after room and on different levels. I will let the pictures do the talking, I couldn't do it justice. Give yourself plenty time to see everything.
  • Pretty cathedral, shame about the neon signs used inside too, I assume, make it more trendy. They only detract from the historic building in my opinion. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you are a fan of Outlander as it has been used heavily in the filming.
  • Impressive cathedral set in a dramatic location below the hill top commentary. Easy walking distance from the CBD for both Cathedral and Necropolis. The exterior belies the richness of the interior.
  • Defined the most impressive and beautiful architectural historical site I have been at my entire life. Cathedral is gorgeous, really impressive for a 8 century monument, there is nothing like that anywhere.
  • An absolutely stunning example of the respect and adoration for our Savior. So much love and attention to show the risen Savior. Such beauty but nothing compared to what He has prepared for us.
