Govan Stones

Early medieval carved stones in Govan Old Church linked to the Kingdom of Strathclyde

The Govan Stones are one of Glasgow's most important early medieval survivals: carved grave markers, crosses, and a remarkable hogback stone group associated with the Kingdom of Strathclyde. They reveal a much older religious and political landscape than the industrial city usually suggests.

The stones are displayed in Govan Old Church, making the visit intimate and atmospheric. It is a standout for anyone interested in early Scotland, carved stone, or hidden Glasgow history.
