Very interesting Cathedral with local history.
Saint Columba Cathedral的点评
点评：Just a short stroll from the centre of Oban this magnificent cathedral is worth a visit. Part of Scottish and Oban history it stands proud looking west to wards the island where St Columba landed back in 643, Iona.
The original cathedral was made of corrugated iron, as it was to be a temporary structure. In fact it stood for 50 years. It was the first cathedral built in Oban in 1878 by Bishop Angus MacDonald, the first Bishop of the Diocese.
Building of the new cathedral began in 1932 the new Cathedral was begun in 1932 by Bishop Donald Martin for the Diocese of Argyll and the isles. He raised much of the money in America, Canada, and Ireland. The final act in building the present Cathedral was the blessing of the great bells ‘Brendan ‘ and ‘Kenneth’ in 1959 – 27 years after the first sod was cut and 21 years after the death of Bishop Martin.
The amazing carvings of the stations of the cross are the most wonderful we have ever seen. If nothing else it is worth visiting just to marvel at these.
The Cathedral is in the neo-Gothic style with pink and blue granite used throughout making the Cathedral. What a tangible symbol of the sturdiness of the tradition of the faith of the people of the West Highlands and Islands of Scotland. There are a number of notices which detail the history of the cathedral and the priests who have served there.
It was a very humbling experience walking through the cathedral.

翻译：从奥本市中心步行不远，即可抵达这座宏伟的大教堂，绝对值得一游。它作为苏格兰和奥本历史的一部分，傲然屹立于西侧，面朝圣哥伦巴于公元643年登陆的爱奥那岛。
最初的大教堂是用波纹铁皮建造的，因为它原本是一座临时建筑。事实上，它屹立了50年。它是奥本教区第一任主教安格斯·麦克唐纳于1878年建造的第一座大教堂。
新大教堂始建于1932年，由唐纳德·马丁主教为阿盖尔及周边岛屿教区动工兴建。他在美国、加拿大和爱尔兰筹集了大部分资金。如今大教堂建造的最后一项工程是1959年为大钟“布伦丹”和“肯尼斯”举行了降福仪式——这距离教堂破土动工已过去27年，马丁主教也去世了21年。
那些令人惊叹的苦路雕刻是我们见过的最精美的。即使不为别的，单单为了欣赏这些雕刻也值得一游。
大教堂采用新哥特式风格，通体使用粉色和蓝色花岗岩。这真是苏格兰西部高地和岛屿人民坚定信仰传统的有力象征。教堂内有许多告示牌，详细介绍了大教堂的历史以及曾在此服务的神父们。
漫步于大教堂，令人倍感谦卑。
