St Mary's Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in West End, Glasgow, Scotland

The St Mary's Cathedral displays Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches, stone walls, and a 63-meter spire that defines the Glasgow skyline.

George Gilbert Scott designed this religious structure in 1871, and construction continued until 1893, when workers completed the prominent cathedral spire.

The cathedral maintains daily services, including Morning Prayer at 9:30 AM and regular Eucharist celebrations, supported by professional singers and musicians.

Visitors can attend Sunday services at 9 AM for Plainsong Eucharist, 11 AM for Sung Eucharist with refreshments, or 5 PM for Choral Evensong.

The cathedral's clergy serve as Honorary Anglican Chaplains at the University of Glasgow, creating connections between academic and religious communities.
