Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Mary

The Cathedral of St. Mary is the Cathedral of the Scottish Episcopal Church, officially opened in 1871. It is noteworthy that the cathedral was completed only in 1893, when work on the spire was completed. Together with it, the height of the building is 63 meters. The cathedral was designed by George Gilbert Scott. However, the cathedral was not immediately, this high status was assigned to it only in 1908. At the moment, the Cathedral of St. Mary is included in the list of especially significant historical and architectural monuments of Great Britain.

The cathedral is located in the heart of the West End in Glasgow, this position allows it to constantly develop as a concert hall, a center of artistic activity, a venue for exhibitions. In addition, the cathedral is rightfully proud of its music in the face of an adult mixed choir, restored in 1990 organ, and ten sections of bells.

Saint Mary is used for two purposes at once: as a cathedral for the diocese and as a meeting place for a sufficiently large flock. This number of parishioners and their constant rotation is due to the fact that the population in this urban area is constantly changing. The cathedral has an active plan for administrative and outreach activities.
