The Cathedral Church of GLASGOW. St. Kentigern, who was the fon of Thametes, daughter of Loth, kingof the Pidts, is faid to have begun a ftately church, and to have found-ed a Bifhoprick, at Glafgow, in the year of our Lord 560. Hiftory hasnot informed us of the name of the prince who confirmed and endowedthis Bifhoprick in favour of St. Kentigern/; but it appears, that he pof-feffed this See till the year 60 r, when he died upon the 13th of January,and was buried in the Church of Glafgow, where his monument ftillremains. The frequent wars that followed the eftablifhment of this Bifhoprick,in which it was alternately a prey to the Picts, Scots, Saxons, Britons,and Danes, involved that period of hiftory in obfcurity, and reducedthe inhabitants to that flate of barbarity, in which they were found atthe time when David, Prince of Cumberland, refounded this See, A. D.1115. He appointed his chaplain, John, commonly called Achaius,Bifhop, who rebuilt and adorned a part of the Cathedral Chur
