St Mirin Cathedral was completed in 1931 close to the site of the original church of the same name which dated from 1808. The original building was the first stone built Catholic church in post Reformation Scotland. The present building was raised to cathedral status in 1948 following the erection of the diocese in 1947. It is neo Romanesque in style with a plain sandstone exterior and an airy arched interior: its architect was Thomas Baird. The chancel is principally of Italian marble.
