    Again free to go inside but donations accepted. It is closed for lunch between 12.30 and 1.30 and open from 10am till 4pm.
    There are pictures of what it would of been like inside as it was a Catholic church before the reformation.
    During the Scottish Reformation, the cathedral was stripped of its Catholic furnishings, including altars, sculptures, and lead from the roof.
    The cathedral was protected from vandalism and decay by Protestant ministers, which helped it survive the Reformation relatively intact.

    Today, the cathedral is a place of worship for the Church of Scotland.
    In the lower church is St Mungo's Tomb. Sacristy with its original oak door (a plaque on the wall points out the bullet holes which it gives as evidence of "troubled times", namely Reformation.

    This is a hidden gem in Govan. There is on display ancient stones including humpback burial stones dating from the period of the Strathclyde Kingdom. The guides are are very friendly and helpful.
    I would recommend you visit this facinating place. It is only a short walk from the new bridge.
    It closes at the end of October and reopens in April opening hours between 1pm and 4pm. After your visit here tue it in with a visit to the Fairfield Heritage Centre which is a short walk away.

    We had such a great day here today. The cathedral and its grounds were beautiful and I was able to photograph so much of the architecture for my nerdy theatre design friends. The stained glass windows were STUNNING.

    Visited this weekend for Glasgow open doors and found the place fascinating. Our tour guide was great and had plenty of knowledge about the building and obviously Islam itself, unfortunately one of the people on the tour was a bit rude with the questions he asked but our guide was extremely patient with him and done himself proud. Everyone was very nice and welcoming would love to come again.

    Iconic building that's been brought up to the current time. Has a nice cafe, some Christian paintings, and a welcoming air. Great for a stop in to see how a church has been modernized.

    My friend and I visited this beautiful synagogue last week. Our guides Sandra and Deborah were very friendly and informative, explaining the history of the building and even playing a recording of the Cantor of the synagogue. This, we thought, along with the sun shining through the beautiful stained glass windows brought out the profound spirituality of this magnificent building . A lovely experience!

    St Vincent Street Church is located west of the city center . It was opened in February 1859. The building was designed by one of Glasgow's most famous architects, Alexander Greek Thomson. The constituent parts of the building display different styles, with a typical Thomson Greek temple placed alongside an exotic clock tower which shows more oriental influences. Beautiful building.

    I was in the area and like old churches so I walked over. It's a gothic looking old church but it doesn't really measure up as a place to go see.

    This little Catholic parish church in right outside the Barras flea market and though from the outside seems totally unremarkable and a bit run down, the interior is unusually beautiful, with a high green and wood beams ceiling, an altar with striking white reredos and some colourful modern glass windows.
    Absolutely worth a visit if you are in the area - but this is obviously a very active and beloved place of worship so be respectful.

    This is a lovely mosque and Carrington street, very easy to access if you are staying near by in Hill head. They have regular 5 times daily prayers, they have two Jummahs, it was at 1:30 and 2pm while we were there in July-August. You can see their website: http://www.alfurqanmosque.com/index.php and get prayer times for the whole year. A great place, well maintained and have regular activities/lectures for the family.
