The written submission which accompanied the drawings and plans describes it thus: 'The general style of the Architecture is Gothic of the best period with as much as possible of the Scottish variety. Scottish Gothic is quite different from English Gothic...It has been sought to make the Cathedral, which.. will be , thoroughly Scottish in character.'
