The Burrell was purpose built， the result of an architectural competition， and opened in 1983. Care was taken to ensure harmony between the building and its collections， and the park it is situated in. The light and airy building， its woodland setting and the amazing breadth of Sir William Burrell，s collection make a visit to The Burrell Collection an experience not to be missed. The park and woodland offer plenty of outdoor activities too-why not come for a walk and a picnic， or see the changing seasons reflected in the trees？

Glasgow Cathedral
格拉斯哥大教堂
格拉斯哥大教堂（Glasgow Cathedral）是西元1136年为了奉献给格拉斯哥的守护神St.Mungo而建，历经三百年完工，是宗教改革前的哥特式建筑物的典范，亦是英国唯一一个改革后能够保存下来的苏格兰大教堂。目前大部分的建筑都是建自15世纪，只有西塔在动乱中遭到毁坏。在15世纪晚期，大教堂中间增加了一条石制的祭坛围屏，把教堂的间隔分成两部分。围屏旁边有7对石像装饰，用来代表“七宗罪”。最有趣的地方是有条楼梯可通往矮教堂。密布的柱子营造出一种气势，包围着圣芒戈的墓碑。爱德华一世（Edward I）在1301年曾到过这个神殿3次。
教堂左前方的St.Mungo博物馆，陈列着关于宗教的生活与艺术的收藏。这里不光只有天主教的东西，印度教的湿婆像和禅宗或庭院在这儿也有一席之地。Museum对面的古老建筑是全市最老的Provand，s Lordship，忠实呈现西元15世纪富商巨贾的生活原貌，从西元1471年保存至今。
Sitting on the edge of Cathedral street， Glasgow Cathedral is the oldest building in Glasgow and one of the few medieval churches to have survived the reformation in Scotland unscathed. The Cathedral boasts a 105+ft high and 285x63 ft structure filled with awe inspiring intricate architecture and stained glass， and the last remaining intact tower on a Scottish medieval Church.
