  • Welcome to a captivating journey through time and history as I explore the magnificent Glasgow Cathedral!
    Join me on a narrated tour, where we'll uncover the secrets and stories that have shaped this iconic Scottish landmark.
    Glasgow Cathedral, also known as St. Mungo's Cathedral, stands as a testament to centuries of architectural brilliance and religious significance. This awe-inspiring edifice is not just a place of worship, but a living piece of history that has witnessed the evolution of Glasgow and its people.
    The tour begins at the awe-inspiring exterior, where the stunning Gothic architecture immediately draws you in. As we step inside, we'll be greeted by the resplendent stained glass windows that filter the sunlight into a breathtaking display of colors. These windows tell tales of saints, martyrs, and the city's spiritual journey.
    Ill take you on a journey through the cathedral's various chapels, each with its unique charm and history. From the tomb of St. Mungo to the mysterious Blackadder Aisle, we'll delve into the lives of those who walked these hallowed halls and the legends that surround them.
    Its a fascinating insight into the cathedral's architectural details, the intricate carvings, and the breathtaking craftsmanship that makes this place a true masterpiece.
    So why not take a deep dive in the past, present, and future of Glasgow Cathedral, a place where faith and history come together in a harmonious blend of beauty and spirituality.

      Wow thanks Glad you liked it. As you know my channel is quite varied in places and just wanted to try another guided tour but more of its heritage and history. This wasn't the easiest videos to do due to so much narration having to be cut and keeping the flow going but it is a very special place and I bet there are many Glaswegians who have no idea how important it is. Thanks for watching and supporting as always. Take care 👍😃👍🥃🥃

    Very enjoyable
    In 1957 I was working at the Royal Inf. and in my lunchtime would have a wee gander around the Cathedral,or go down the High St. to my uncles .( In the building with the St Mungo mural. There was a wee spey wife just past Barlinnie who used to read our tea leaves..she was fair canny.

      Thanks sir. Glad you enjoyed it. Little secret....this took sssoooo long to edit and nearly at one point didn't bother with it. It was researching cutting the audio and trying to make it all make sense and fit in what I had taken but not making it too long was a nightmare lol. Amazing place and I've totally taken it for granted but not now as really a cornerstone of Glasgow as we know it. I fear Glasgow has forgotten these places a bit and more old buildings and its history are being neglected. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you are well and Voss is being good. Speak soon 👍😃👍🥾🥾🥃🥃

      You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. It's has been such an integral part of Glasgow and when I started to research it after I had done the tour it was baffling the sheer importance of it so felt I had to add a bit more. Thanks for watching and supporting Take care 👍😃👍🥃🥃

      Hi guys Glad you enjoyed it. This place really is a foundation stone for the makings of what Glasgow is and tbh I never knew it until I did a bit of a deep dive into it. So many historical figures walked through these doors. I feel that even if you're not religious it doesn't matter as there is no denying how important it is. The fact that Glasgow had a castle right next to it where Wallace fought and told over and St Mungo a very significant figure in Glasgow is laid to rest here..its absolutely astounding history. Thanks again for watching and happy adventuring 👍😃👍🥾🥾🥃🥃

      Hi sir glad you enjoyed it. Hope all is well. I walked around and filmed and did my usual of researching the place after 🤦‍♂️ I wanted to add more to it with the narration and showcase it. It is so important to the base of Glagow and I feel that thousands walk by it everyday and never realise who walked through its doors and why it is so important. Thanks for watching. Take care. Stay active as always 👍😃👍🥾🥾🥃🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

      Thanks sir. Glad you enjoyed this. Inside secret..it took me so long to do and at one point was just going to bin it but couldn't bring myself to do it. I had done the research and tried to cut it so it made a bit of sense lol. The place is unreal. The good and the not so good all stepped foot here and there was so many other stories about it thatbI could have mentioned. I think though that a fair percentage of Glaswegians would be able to tell you that St Mungos tomb is here and the fact that it was the foundation and corner stone for the beginning of Glasgow. Glad you enjoyed this and you could even listen to it as you walk around the place as a bit of a audio tour lol lol. Thanks again. Take care 👍😃👍🥾🥾🎒🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🥃

      Hi Bill...this took me an eternity to research, edit, cut and make it work. I was getting really frustrated with this one and nearly threw it in the skip but I had put a bit of time into it and actually felt that with so many interesting facts about it kept going with it. Honestly it's well worth a visit and with a few facts of its history under your belt you will see it a bit differently. I totally took it for granted but it's the cornerstone and foundation to what Glasgow is now. As I say if walls could talk. If you are religious or not there is no denying that its such a fascinating place. Hope your keeping well. Thanks again. Happy hiking 👍😃👍🥾🥾🎒🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🥃
