About this audio guide
This guide to Glasgow Cathedral in Glasgow follows the money behind its stones, starting in the eleven-nineties with Bishop Jocelin, a king's charters and cattle traded on the cathedral's own ground. It turns to a monk's book about Saint Mungo, full of miracles, and to the pilgrims who came looking for him. Best heard standing in the Lower Church, by the tomb at its centre.
