On the cover of this pamphlet the title reads as "Glasgow Cathedral - A short History and Guide". Inside the title page reads "The Cathedral Church of St. Mungo - a Short History and Guide, with Illustrations". The author was The Rev. Nevile Davidson, who was the Minister of the Cathedral. St. Kentigern was the founder of the Glasgow Cathedral. He is popularly known as St. Mungo. Mungo is the Scots (or Cumbric) "pet name" (a hypocorism) meaning "Dear One". It probably derives from the Welsh "fy nghu' (My Dear One). St. Kentigern is thought to have been born in 518 in Fife, Scotland. He lived a long life and is much venerated in Scotland, and other places around the world.
