Scotland’s Oldest Surviving Cathedral: Glasgow Cathedral

Dating back to 1197, Glasgow Cathedral is a rare gem—one of the few medieval cathedrals in Scotland to make it through the turbulent Protestant Reformation unscathed. Walking through its halls feels like stepping back in time.

Here are a few of my favorite things about visiting Glasgow Cathedral:
✨ The breathtaking stone arches, with their intricate carvings that seem to tell their own stories.
✨ The atmospheric lower level, home to a 13th-century crypt and the tomb of St. Mungo—Glasgow’s patron saint.
✨ The hillside cemetery above the cathedral. It’s hauntingly beautiful and offers some of the best views over the city and the cathedral itself.

If you’re in Glasgow, this is one spot you absolutely shouldn’t miss—it’s history, architecture, and scenery all rolled into one.

Cea mai veche catedrală supraviețuitoare din Scoția: Catedrala din Glasgow

Datând din anul 1197, Catedrala din Glasgow este o adevărată comoară – una dintre puținele catedrale medievale din Scoția care a trecut neatinsă prin tumultoasa Reformă Protestantă. Plimbându-te prin sălile sale, ai impresia că faci un pas înapoi în timp.

Iată câteva dintre lucrurile mele preferate la vizita în Catedrala din Glasgow:
✨ Arcadele din piatră absolut uimitoare, cu sculpturi detaliate care par să spună propriile povești.
✨ Nivelul inferior, cu o criptă din secolul al XIII-lea și mormântul Sfântului Mungo – patronul spiritual al orașului Glasgow.
✨ Cimitirul de pe dealul deasupra catedralei. Este de o frumusețe aparte și oferă unele dintre cele mai bune priveliști asupra orașului și catedralei.

Dacă ajungi în Glasgow, acesta este un loc pe care nu ar trebui să-l ratezi – istorie, arhitectură și peisaje superbe, toate într-un singur loc.

Probably the most expensive cherry I’ve ever eaten.

Craigies Farm Deli and Café

A lovely place, but unfortunately the prices are quite steep. £8 per kilogram for strawberries and £13.50 for cherries, plus an additional £2.50 entry fee – it feels a bit excessive.

The selection of meats is excellent, and the coffee, drinks, and desserts are all delicious.

Probabil cele mai scumpe cireșe pe care le-am mâncat vreodată.

Craigies Farm Deli and Café

Un loc foarte plăcut, dar din păcate prețurile sunt destul de mari. £8 pe kilogram pentru căpșuni și £13,50 pentru cireșe, plus o taxă suplimentară de £2,50 pentru intrare – pare cam exagerat.

Selecția de carne este excelentă, iar cafeaua, băuturile și deserturile sunt delicioase.

Doune Castle is a must-visit, especially for Monty Python and the Holy Grail fans! The moment you step inside, you can almost hear the taunting French soldier from the iconic sketch. The castle itself is impressively well-preserved, with a fascinating history and stunning views from the battlements. The audio guide, narrated by Terry Jones, adds a hilarious touch for Python lovers. Beyond the castle, a beautiful riverside walk offers a peaceful escape into nature. Whether you're here for the history, the scenery, or the comedy, Doune Castle delivers on all fronts.
