It appears CLKD had the idea in the holiday thread:

Cathedral Cities: Ely [Cambs], Wells [Somerset], Lincoln, Bristol oh new thread I think !

[cubagirl]

Aberdeen has beautiful cathedral, St Machar! Inverness has a lovely cathedral too, in fact it was right opposite my office when I worked there.
Glasgow cathedral is stunning!
Elgin has a cathedral, well what's left of it that is. Used to be able to wander the grounds, now charge you for the privilege!
As for holidays ER, yep Mrs B is right, we'll keep you on the straight & narrow. 😂😂😂

Can't wait cubagirl, I wouldn't expect anything less!

I still don't know what this thread is about. Cathedral cities we've seen, would like to see, cities that have cathedrals? Where's CLKD when you need her? 👀

[babyjane]

Ah right, now it makes sense!

clear as mud to me still 

I remember visiting St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh when I was 16 and feeling disappointed as it had no atmosphere.  It had a gift shop, book shop and cafe in it

I wonder if it's possible to visit every Cathedral in the UK?  Of course, Norwich has 2 .........

[nearly50]

Paisley has a lovely Cathedral too.

CLKD, here's all the ones in Scotland - how many can you tick of your list? I will have walked past them all but I don't suppose that counts

Actually, towards the end of the 20th century, the cathedral underwent a major renewal programme, which left the interior looking much lighter.  And in 1992, St. Giles acquired a fantastic Rieger pipe organ that attracts top international players. 
It also looks amazing -  http://www.harrisonorgans.com/recitals/st-giles-cathedral/
I'd recommend a re-visit!

May well do that Dulciana

I'm beyond confused but I get the two C's  Cathederals and Cities     so with that in mind, I will just name the ones I've visited. 

Belfast
Edinburgh
Winchester
Ely
London


I'm sure there are more but just cant think .

[CLKD]

London - Westminster Abbey?

I thought of a few more in the early hours that we have been to, however ......

[getting_old]

I remember that years ago a city had to have a cathedral, otherwise it was a town. Is that still the case?

[CLKD]

I don't know as some towns have requested being made a City i.e. Milton Keynes but have been turned down but I can't remember why. 

Abbeys are the other historical buildings that I enjoy visiting. 

[dulciana]

Which abbeys have you visited, CLKD?
