Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the interior of St Paul's Episcopal Cathedral on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Dundee, Tayside, Britain, United Kingdom. It is the Cathedral and administrative centre of the Diocese of Brechin. The Scottish Episcopal Church, Scottish Gaelic: Eaglais Easbaigeach na h-Alba; is the ecclesiastical province of the Anglican Communion in Scotland. In 1847, Alexander Penrose Forbes, born 16 June 1817, died 8 October 1875, was elected new Bishop of Brechin and chose to make Dundee his permanent residence. At the time of Bishop Forbes' arrival, St. Paul's Chapel met in rooms in nearby Castle Street, which Forbes considered to be dreary and unworthy of the worship of the Almighty. Thus, he urged his people to take on the holy work of building, to the glory of God, a stately church, a place which would offer refuge to the many poor that lived in the surrounding tenements.The foundation stone of the cathedral was laid on 21 July 1853 and it was completed in 1855. It was designed by George Gilbert Scott. The church was dedicated on All Saints Day, 1 November 1865. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
