- The organ in Saint Andrew's Cathedral in Glasgow was installed in the church in 1980 by Michael MacDonald. The Open Diapason 32' from the previous organ, built by Mirrlees, has been taken over. The organ itself comes from Elgin Place Congrational Church, 193 Pitt Street in Glasgow, where it was built in 1902 by Henry Willis II. The front is also taken over from the previous organ. Elgin Place Congrational Church was demolished after closing.
- In the years 2009-2010, the organ was dismantled by David Wells in connection with a restoration of the church building, after which it was reinstalled in 2010 without any modifications.
