The blocked west transept arch contains a massive bronze eagle, the sign of St John the Evangelist, whose theology is supposed to soar over the rest of the Bible. The Cathedral's guide book (from which much of my information has been taken) notes that not everyone believes St John the Evangelist and St John the Divine are the same person. Originally, this building's dedication was simply to St John, but by 1884 he was termed St John the Evangelist and soon after 1895 had become St John the Divine. The sculpture is the work of John Wyllie of Gourock.
