Glasgow

Landsdowne Parish Church
Built in 1863, designed by John Honeyman. Featuring an incredibly slim spire in excess of 210 feet high and stained glass by Alfred and Gordon Webster, the latter also known for work at St Mungo's Cathedral.

St Aloysius RC Church
Renaissance style building designed around 1910 by a Belgian architect. The tower stands some 150 feet high. The interior is marble lined. The building is in the care of the Jesuit Order, stained glass contains figures of Jesuit saints.

'St George Tron, Glasgow
When constructed in 1808 the church (originally St George's Parish Church) stood at the very western edge of Glasgow. Only after uniting with Tron St Anne in 1940 did the current name come into use. The tower appears deceptively simple but is in fact constructed in five stages topped by a dome and obelisk.

St Mungo's Cathedral
The majority of medieval cathedral buildings in Scotland are no longer in use, St Mungo is far larger and more complete than most and remains in use today. An ancient crypt with a shrine to St Mungo is to be found along with a large collection of 20th-century stained glass, much of which is attributed to some of the masters of glasswork from the period.

Wellington Church
The columned portico and Roman Classical style building dates to 1884-5, designed by T.L. Watson. Internally the style is more Renaissance. The building is open to the public during University term time.

Battlefield East Church
The original church on the site was built in 1865, in 1912 the current building had been completed and the original building became the hall. The current building is attributed to John Galt. The interior has galleries supported on cast iron columns and stained glass has been added to the building on several occassions, some dates from the 1930's whilst there have also been additions in the 1970's and the 1980's.
