Talk:Dunblane Cathedral

Ownership
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)

Anglicanism
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)
 * Yeah, the inclusion of that template confused me. I did then think though that Clement may be on some Anglican saints list, but couldn't see why for Dunblane Cathedral. Anyways, glad it's sorted. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 09:33, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

A very weak and misleading article
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)

WikiProject Ireland
Hi, 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)
 * Hi Dunblane Cathedral appears to have been was included in the tagging list for Category:Christianity in Ireland because (unnoticed by me) it is in Category:Culdees, which is a subcat of Category:Christianity in Ireland. I'm not sure how much interest WP:IE members take in Culdees or wider Celtic Christianity, but I think there is a reasonable case for seeing it as in scope.  I don't feel strongly about it either way, but in general I prefer WikiProjects to take a broad scope, to increase the number of eyes on a topic. This isn't like categorising articles. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:16, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
