Most cathedral buildings currently used by the Church of Scotland have always been scheduled state monuments and therefore it is not "unusually" to belong to crown estate rather than the congregation. The Glasgow Cathedral of Saint Mungo also fall into this cathegory.
The ownership of most Church of Scotland buildings is vested in the Church of Scotland General Trustees, whilst some are vested in local trustees. (Outside of the Scotland, the Church of Scotland Trust has the same function.) Glasgow Cathedral and Dunblane Cathedral are Crown property - the ruined section of Dunkeld Cathedral is also Crown property (unlike the section used for worship.) Ruined cathedrals no longer in regular use for worship (such as Elgin) are Crown property and maintained by Historic Scotland. St Magnus' Cathedral, Kirkwall, is also unusual in being owned by the people of Orkney, through Orkney Islands Council. I do not know who are the trustees of St Giles' Cathedral (Edinburgh) and St Machar's Cathedral (Aberdeen). In most cases, the graveyards surrounding historic churches are owned and maintained by the local councils. -- Matthewross 16:30, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I was confused by the title "Cathedral". I see now the building is Church of Scotland and of no intrest to WP:Anglican. As for Clement, I was thought he was on the SEC calendar on March 19th. Further research has proved me mistaken. -- SECisek 09:26, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
The present text says absolutely nothing about the fact that this church was practically a ruin since 1622, when the roof of the main nave fell in. Restoration took place 1889-93 and 1912-14. See the link to the Historic Scotland website. Robert Schediwy -- 86.33.64.5 ( talk) 15:40, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi BrownHairedGirl, I see you added this article to WP:IE, I wondered what the project interest is in this church. -- DeFacto ( talk). 16:43, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
