St Mary's Cathedral is a Gothic Revival cathedral of the Scottish Episcopal Church located on Glasgow's Great Western Road in the west end. Designed by Sir Gilbert Scott, the building opened as St Mary's Episcopal Church in 1871 and was completed in 1893 with the addition of its spire, reaching a total height of 63 metres. It was elevated to cathedral status in 1908. The structure is protected as a category A listed building. Among Glasgow's other principal churches are the Roman Catholic St Andrew's Cathedral, the Eastern Orthodox St Luke's, and the medieval St Mungo's, which serves the Church of Scotland.
