Ayr Cathedral

This impressive Gothic style building was the first Roman Catholic Church to be built in Ayrshire after the reformation. The first priest responsible for its construction was Mr William Thomson, a native of Banffshire; he arrived in Ayr in 1822 when the parish was founded.

On the 28th of February 2007 a decree from Rome made St Margaret's Church the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of Galloway and it was dedicated as such on the 14th of September 2007.
