Finished some pending official work in the morning. Prepared the lunch and while planning for a walk out I noticed that the cathedral is close by. So decided to take a walk to the place.
While I was getting out of the hotel, the receptionist warned me about the rain and handed over an umbrella. That was so kind of him. Appreciated.
14 minutes walk to the cathedral. It just stopped raining then. The offline maps worked great. It was navigating me with ultimate accuracy.
The sky was bit dark. I expected another rain before reaching the cathedral. But it just drizzled all the way long. Didn't have to use the umbrella. Like a soft touch from the nature, the walk was more enjoyable with the drizzle. What a feel.
This is not the cathedral. Looks like an another church on the way.
Not sure who this is. The cathedral premises had a lot of statues like this one all around.
Cathedral view from the front gate. The place was so neat and clean. No wonder why this place has a Gold environment status.
Lots of tourist were enjoying the architectural beauty of this place. Tall and artful roofs and that old touch of architecture so amazing.
Looked like the music vent connected to a huge organ.
Is this the organ to which those numerous pipes connected to? Might be.

On the way to cathedral hill. Green meadows.
The way up to the Necropolis (The Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery).
Either take left or right, and climb up the mountain.
Lots of monumental structures all around this place. I was walking in between them and clicking pics for some time.
That is the view of the cathedral and the surrounding areas up from the hill. I was anyway tired of climbing the hill. So sat down and enjoyed the view and the cool breeze for almost half an hour before heading down back to the ground. Priceless moments and memories.
The cathedral hotel just outside the premises. That was a cute little structure which carries that old charm attached with a beer garden.
