The adventure lab will take you on a short walk (30mins). Medieval Glasgow from its beginnings in 1119 with the building of the Cathedral on the site of St Kentigern's first church, to becoming the seat of an archbishopric in 1492. Glasgow's Medieval ecclesiastical centre had an important economic impact on the development of the town. When a charter was issued by William the Lion, between 1175 and 1178, giving Glasgow the status of burgh, the rights it endowed to the burgesses of the city to own land, to trade and hold an annual fair led to the expansion of the town towards the Cathedral. Glasgow by the 15th century had become a thriving town second only to St Andrew's in ecclesiastical importance. The medieval landscape of buildings such as the Bishops Castle and the College, which dominated the High Street for hundreds of years, now lie hidden beneath Glasgow's Victorian architecture and new developments.
