Tour Scotland photograph of a Bible in the Nave of Glasgow Cathedral, Glasgow, Scotland. Beyond the Bible is the Quire Screen which virtually hides the Quire from the Nave. It dates probably from the 15th century. It is the only screen of its kind left in any secular, non-monastic, church of pre-Reformation date in Scotland. While several early editions of the King James New Testament were published in Scotland it was not until 1633 that the first complete King James Bible was published. It coincided with coronation of King Charles I in Edinburgh.
