Cathcart Old Church is a Parish church of the Church of Scotland, located between the Cathcart and King's Park areas of Glasgow.
Previous Churches
The first church in Cathcart was built in the 9th century. In 1707, a church was built to replace the medieval church, which was then rebuilt in 1744. In 1831, a new church in the Neo-Gothic style was designed by James Dempster, and replaced the 18th century church, which had fallen into disrepair. The church stood until 1931, when its body was demolished. Its bell tower still stands.[https://www.theglasgowstory.com/image/?inum=TGSE00968 "Cathcart Old Parish Church"], The Glasgow Story.

The church includes a tapestry of The Last Supper by Charles Marshall, and stained glass windows by James Crombie (for Abbey Studios Edinburgh), Douglas Hamilton, and AS Wright of Glasgow.[https://scotlandschurchestrust.org.uk/church/cathcart-old-parish-church/ "CATHCART OLD PARISH CHURCH"], Scotland's Churches Trust.
