Most cathedral buildings currently used by the Church of Scotland have always been scheduled state monuments and therefore it is not "unusually" to belong to crown estate rather than the congregation. The Glasgow Cathedral of Saint Mungo also fall into this cathegory.
The ownership of most
Church of Scotland buildings is vested in the Church of Scotland General Trustees, whilst some are vested in local trustees. (Outside of the Scotland, the Church of Scotland Trust has the same function.)
Glasgow Cathedral and
Dunblane Cathedral are Crown property - the ruined section of
Dunkeld Cathedral is also Crown property (unlike the section used for worship.) Ruined cathedrals no longer in regular use for worship (such as Elgin) are Crown property and maintained by
Historic Scotland.
St Magnus' Cathedral, Kirkwall, is also unusual in being owned by the people of
Orkney, through Orkney Islands Council. I do not know who are the trustees of
St Giles' Cathedral (Edinburgh) and
St Machar's Cathedral (Aberdeen). In most cases, the graveyards surrounding historic churches are owned and maintained by the local councils. --

Anglicanism
I was confused by the title "Cathedral". I see now the building is Church of Scotland and of no intrest to WP:Anglican. As for Clement, I was thought he was on the SEC calendar on March 19th. Further research has proved me mistaken. --

Yeah, the inclusion of that template confused me. I did then think though that Clement may be on some Anglican saints list, but couldn't see why for Dunblane Cathedral. Anyways, glad it's sorted. Regards,

A very weak and misleading article
The present text says absolutely nothing about the fact that this church was practically a ruin since 1622, when the roof of the main nave fell in. Restoration took place 1889-93 and 1912-14.
