Glasgow Cathedral and Ramshorn Church during Radiance Project, November 2007

During the son et lumiere programme projected on to the Cathedral for 3 nights, by Xavier de Richmont, the story behind Glasgow's coat of arms was illustrated:

There's the tree that never grew,
There's the bird that never flew,
There's the fish that never swam,
There's the bell that never rang.
