To those seeking historical information about family members who may be buried in the Cathedral graveyard or area; or who may have been baptised or married in the Cathedral:
The Glasgow Necropolis, which sits above the Cathedral has in excess of 50,000 interments. The Cathedral does not hold any records of those buried in the immediate graveyard or Necropolis, nor do we have anyone, at present, who can provide research into family members. We are sorry we cannot be of assistance to those seeking information about their ancestors, but sadly, we just do not have the resources.
The Minister
- Our Minister is the Revd Mark Johnstone. If you wish to speak to to him please use the main contact form in the first instance. He would be pleased to assist with Weddings, Christening and baptism, funerals and all matters pertaining to the liturgy.
The Session Clerks

Please use the main contact form to contact the Cathedral Administrator in the first instance. As these form part of the normal offices of the Church, the Cathedral is not available to be hired as a venue where our Minister and the Church has no involvement.
Events, Media and the use of the Cathedral as a venue or for film and television or photographic location.
The Cathedral is owned by the people of Scotland and although it has a worshiping congregation, the Church does not manage the building on a day-to-day basis. Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for all uses of the Cathedral which are not part of normal Church activities.
If you wish to use the Cathedral as a venue for an event such as a concert or hire the building to use as a film set or location for a photo shoot, please contact Historic Environment Scotland directly. Please be aware that for most uses permission will also be required to be obtained from the Cathedral Kirk Session. The Cathedral is a place of worship and any inappropriate uses will not be allowed.
Although the building is managed by Historic Environment Scotland much of what it contains is owned by the Congregation. Use of Church property may also attract fees in addition to charges made by HES for use of the building itself. The Church will also require evidence of sufficient insurance against any losses which may result as a consequence of the use of the Cathedral by an outside organisation.
Permission for the use of the Cathedral graveyard and precinct is required to be obtained from the City of Glasgow.
