Popularly known as "Highland Cathedral", St. Columba's was built on this site in 1904, following compensation received from the Caledonian Railway Company which had purchased its former site in Hope Street in order to construct Central Station. St. Columba's was constructed to meet the needs of Glasgow's growing Gaelic-speaking population and still has a Gaelic service every Sunday.
