Spynie Cathedral
Bishop Bricius de Douglas finally obtained papal permission on 7 April 1206 to fix the cathedral at the Church of the Holy Trinity at Spynie. Authorisation was also granted to create a chapter of eight canons to administer the cathedral. The chapter based its constitution on that of Lincoln Cathedral. It is possible that this decision may have been influenced by the fact that Bricius’ immediate predecessor was Bishop Richard de Lincoln.

Famous quotes containing the word cathedral:
“The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
