Glasgow Cathedral, Scotland

Glasgow Cathedral is the oldest cathedral in mainland Scotland and the oldest building in Glasgow. Glasgow Cathedral and St Magnus Cathedral in Orkney are the only medieval cathedrals in Scotland to have survived the Reformation virtually intact. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow, whose tomb lies at the centre of the building's Lower Church. His shrine in the Lower Church of Glasgow Cathedral was an important place of pilgrimage in the medieval period. The first stone cathedral was dedicated in 1136. Destroyed or severely damaged by fire, the first cathedral was succeeded by the present cathedral, which was consecrated in 1197. Excavations between 1988 and 1997 uncovered architectural fragments of this first stone cathedral beneath the floor of the present cathedral. Much of the present cathedral dates from a major rebuilding in the 13th century. Following its foundation in 1451, the University of Glasgow held its first classes within the cathedral's chapter house. The funeral of First Minister Donald Dewar was held in the cathedral in October 2000. Elizabeth II attended services of thanksgiving at Glasgow Cathedral to mark her Silver Jubilee in 1977 and her Diamond Jubilee in 2012
