"Glasgow Cathedral from the North-East" is a watercolor painting by the English artist Edward Dayes (1763–1804). Dayes, known for his expertise in watercolors and as a topographical illustrator, captured the grandeur of Glasgow Cathedral, also known as the High Kirk of Glasgow or St. Mungo's Cathedral, in this artwork. The painting is a fine example of Dayes' attention to architectural detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of a scene.

The cathedral, an eminent example of Scottish Gothic architecture, stands as the focal point of the composition, with Dayes portraying its intricate façade and spire with precision. The perspective from the north-east allows for a view that emphasizes the cathedral's imposing presence within the city's landscape. Dayes' work often reflected his interest in the interplay between light and shadow, which is evident in the way he renders the cathedral's form against the sky and the surrounding environment.

Completed during the late 18th or early 19th century, the painting not only serves as an artistic representation but also as a historical record of the cathedral before the many changes that the city of Glasgow underwent during the Industrial Revolution and subsequent periods. As with many of Dayes' pieces, "Glasgow Cathedral from the North-East" likely appealed to the burgeoning middle class of the time, who had an appetite for picturesque scenes and British heritage.

The painting is characteristic of the period's topographical interest and would have contributed to the visual documentation of Britain's architectural landmarks, a pursuit that became increasingly popular with the rise of the Picturesque movement. Edward Dayes' works are held in various collections, and this particular piece would be of interest to those studying British watercolors, the documentation of ecclesiastical architecture, or the oeuvre of Dayes himself.
