Lowlands-L List (i.e. Tom McRae says <lowlands.list at GMAIL.COM>

In response to my observation
>Husband quibbled over the cathederals question: he says that it _was_ a
>cathedral, which is why it's now in the care of Historic Scotland.
Tom says
>Popularly known as such even by Edinburgh's population but they are so
>ignorant of much of their City.
>Presbyterians have neither cathedrals nor bishops and in the
>Episcopalean faith a bishop's usually has his cathedral
Husband says: it was a bishop's seat twice in the seventeenth century.
Thirty odd years out of going on a thousand.  I told you it was a
quibble!

Cheers,

Pat
