The Archdiocese of Glasgow (Latin: Archidioecesis Glasguensis) is a diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland. Glasgow first became an archbishopric in 1492 eventually securing the dioceses of Galloway Argyll and the Isles as suffragans. The modern Archdiocese of Glasgow was re-established in 1878 and currently consists of 106 parishes served by 228 priests (2003 figures) covering an area of 1165 square kilometres (450 sq mi) in the West of Scotland.
