VI-II No8 City of Glasgow
The parochial church is the nave (Choir) of the Cathedral which was opened as a protestant church in 1560 and for a long time was called simply the high church; but afterwards denominated the Inner High Church to distinguish it from the Outer High Church, opened in 1648" (Illegible) "Subsequent to the Reformation, the Choir or eastern division was used as a place of Protestant worship; but to meet the increase of ( ) Culture, the Western division was also fitted up as a church under the name of the Outer High Church, to distinguish it from the eastern division, or Inner High Church; and this portion of the Cathedral was used up till a comparatively recent period when the congregation was accommodated by the erection of St Paul's in another quarter of the City" Gazett
