  A hidden gem. Typical Victorian church with relatively modern but elaborate stained glass windows. Main attraction is the Viking sarcophagi found nearby. Background info on display or from volunteers. Only opens after 1 o'clock. Handy for picturesque tiny free Govan Ferry that goes to Riverside Museum. Graveyard also worth wandering round. Close to buses and Underground station, and local Govan worthies.

  Remarkable collection of 9th-11th century standing stones and viking hogbacks.

  A world-class collection of beautifully-presented Early Medieval stone sculpture set within a churchyard that, almost incredibly, seems to preserve its original ancient shape.
