Scotland
Church of Scotland (including pre-Reformation)
The Church of Scotland is no longer governed by bishops, and so officially has no cathedrals. However, buildings which were cathedrals prior to the Reformation (or in periods of the church's history when it did have an episcopacy) are still commonly called 'cathedrals'. (These buildings are often denoted by the title "High Kirk".)Former cathedral buildings (still used for worship)
