Tour Scotland travel photograph of The Law Monument in the Cathedral on ancestry, genealogy family history visit to Glasgow. The 17th century monument of Archbishop James Law almost completely conceals the windows in the Chapel of Saint Stephen and Saint Lawrence. Archbishop Law was a former Minister of Kirkliston and Bishop of Orkney before becoming Archbishop of Glasgow. He completed the renewal of the lead roof of the Cathedral, which had been started by Archbishop John Spottiswood, following the depredations in the time of the Reformation. He also made generous benefactions to schools and hospitals in Glasgow. The monument was given by his wife, Marion Boyle, daughter of John Boyle of Kelburn.
