During the First World War there was much activity in the cathedral and its Missions on behalf of those who were serving in the Forces. www.cathedral.net /cathh.htm   (689 words)

Edinburgh Architecture - The Royal Mile St Andrews Cathedral did not survive the reformation and was destroyed in the anti-Catholic fervour of the mid-1500's which culminated in the execution of both Archbishop John Hamilton and Mary Queen of Scots. By not being perceived as a base of ecclesiastical or monastic power St Giles flourished and paradoxically gained the status of cathedral for two brief periods in the 17th century when the Church of Scotland had an episcopal structure imposed upon it by the later Stuart monarchs. Parliament House, which is situated close to St Giles Cathedral, was the home of the Scottish Parliament from 1640 until its union with the English Parliament in 1707. www.scotcities.com /capital.htm   (1383 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Edinburgh The Catholic Archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh (the fourth who has held that office in thirty years) resides in Edinburgh, and has his episcopal seat in St. Mary's Cathedral. In the middle of the fifteenth century Edinburgh became the real capital of Scotland, that is, the seat of the Parliament and the Government, as well as the residence of the kings, and the scene of many of the most important provincial councils which regulated the affairs of the Scottish Church. James II was the first king crowned at Edinburgh instead of in the Abbey of Scone, and he and his successors conferred many privileges on the capital, and did all in their power to develop it and increase its prosperity. www.newadvent.org /cathen/05284a.htm   (1765 words)

Govan Old: Its Place in Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Church Design Despite his undisputed standing as the premier Episcopal church designer in Scotland, Rowand Anderson was not among those invited to compete for the greatest Scottish church building project of the age, St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh. The Rhind lectures were commissioned as a centenary tribute to Rowand Anderson's Findlay Building comprising the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of Antiquities, which, together with the same architect's Mount Stuart, represented the supreme achievement of the Gothic revival in Scotland insofar as secular architecture was concerned. Where Anderson and Burnet had solved the problem of the wide preaching nave straightforwardly, Blanc solved it by architectural sleight of hand, in taking his oblong crossing to a square crown tower at roof level with a chancel of conventional proportions beyond. www.govanold.org.uk /reports/1993_church_design.html   (1348 words)
