S t Mary's, the first large Cathedral to be built in Britain since the Reformation, was built to the award-winning design of Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1879. A bridge between then and now, and from now to the future, it challenges the splintered vision of our day by reminding us that there are alternative models of keeping faith with the rest of our environment and of providing accessible, fulfilling and purposeful training for all.
T here are eight apprentices working to two master masons in the Workshop.
They serve a four year apprenticeship and achieve a Scottish Vocational Qualification. Their employment record is excellent. E very year it is for St Mary's Cathedral to raise just on half the costs of running the Workshop and also its restoration and maintenance programme. This benefit applies to all individual tax paying donors and also to Companies. Should you sponsor three stones it will be treated as a Single Donation with the tax benefits mentioned above.
