St Mary's Cathedral/Cathedral of St Mary of the Assumption, Aberdeen, Diocese of Aberdeen This photograph shows the interior and high altar of St Mary's Cathedral in Aberdeen; there is a priest at the altar and behind him a bride and groom can be seen standing on the altar so this is presumably a Nuptial Mass; the congregation in the pews are all dressed in their wedding finery [which appears to be of the 1950's era]; the Cathedral of St Mary of the Assumption was built in 1860 and, as at 2009, has an estimated Catholic population of 1,500.
