hello gallus - i'm maybe getting mixed up , as i thought i'd seen some tv film about the city and it said the catholic cathedral had been moved (folk from the highlands were traditionally more likely to be catholic and central station and the umbrella were very close)

last year my daughter and i were about to go in to a (the?) newer one and this cyclist zoomed right past us -
'f*****g hell!' i shouted...'then 'sorry' to a couple of women passing by
'that's ok son - just get yersel' awa in tae confession!'

the old glasgow cathedral by the necroplis - is the protestant one and very impressive. when you walk on the hill by there you can see over to the east end and glasgow celtic's stadium (celtic were traditionally the largely catholic team while their rivals - rangers- are protestant) - with it's old nickname - PARADISE - in large letters easily readable. i'm sure it's deliberate and a tongue in cheek joke
