Standing at the east end of Cathedral Street in Glasgow, and not far from where Castle Street becomes High Street is Glasgow Cathedral. One of the few Scottish medieval churches to have survived the Reformation unscathed, Glasgow Cathedral is truly magnificent, full of beauty and wonder. Yet any visit to Glasgow Cathedral is also tinged with sadness, for it brings home just how much was forever lost to the nation in the orgy of vandalism that destroyed or defaced so many other Scottish churches in the period from 1560. Statue of James Arthur, Cathedral Precinct. James Arthur (1819-85) is remembered here in this bronze statue by GA Lawson, erected in 1893. He was a successful businessman and, as you can see by the inscription, was a popular man who was given this memorial by his employees.
