Glasgow, Scotland, UK: Cathedral


The first elements of the Glasgow Cathedral were laid in 1136, the present building being consecrated in 1197. The organ was built by Willis in 1879, with work undertaken at regular intervals over the years. The most recent work was completed by Harrison and Harrison in 1996. My black and white card is unused. It is not dated, though it indicates UK postage of 1/2p is required, which narrows the viable time frame somewhat. My card is oriented from the east end choir area to the screen with the organ cases on the north and south walls with the console situated on the screen. The cathedral's site gives plenty of information including a specification.
