State the answer to the question: For the cathedral that suffered maltreatment in 1806 , what is the Presbytery ? Respond with the correct answer (omit explanations) in JSON format as {"answer": "YOUR ANSWER"}.

St Machar 's Cathedral ( or , more formally , the Cathedral Church of St Machar ) is a Church of Scotland church in Aberdeen , Scotland . It is located to the north of the city centre , in the former burgh of Old Aberdeen . Technically , St Machar 's is no longer a cathedral but rather a high kirk , as it has not been the seat of a bishop since 1690 .
The Presbytery of Aberdeen is one of the forty-six presbyteries of the Church of Scotland , being the local presbytery for the city of Aberdeen . The current moderator is the Rev Hutton Steel who is minister of High Hilton Parish Church . The presbytery represents and supervises thirty six Church of Scotland congregations within the city . The office is at Mastrick Parish Church . The role of Presbytery Clerk is held by the Rev Dr John A Ferguson .
Brechin Cathedral dates from the 13th century . As a congregation of the Church of Scotland , which is Presbyterian , the church is not technically a cathedral , in spite of its name . It is in the Pointed style , but suffered maltreatment in 1806 at the hands of restorers , whose work was subsequently removed during the restoration completed in 1902 . The western gable with its flamboyant window , Gothic door and massive square tower , parts of the ( much truncated ) choir , and the nave pillars and clerestory are all that is left of the original edifice . The modern stained glass in the chancel is reckoned amongst the finest in Scotland . The Cathedral is a category A listed building and the attached Round Tower is a scheduled monument .
The Church of Scotland has a Presbyterian structure , which means it is organised under a hierarchy of courts . Traditionally there were four levels of courts : the Kirk Session ( at congregational level ) , the Presbytery ( at local area level ) , the Synod ( at a regional level ) and the General Assembly ( the Church 's highest court ) . However , the synods were abolished in the early 1990s . Scottish local government was reorganised in 1975 , creating a new system of regions and districts to replace the long-standing counties and burghs . The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland also ordered a major reorganisation of presbyteries in the mid-1970s , redrawing presbytery boundaries to make them broadly contiguous with the then-new local government boundaries . An example was the union of the former Presbyteries of Cupar and St Andrews , creating a new Presbytery of St Andrews ( which also included the Parishes of Newport-on-Tay , Wormit and Tayport , previously in the Presbytery of Dundee ) . This new Presbytery 's boundaries mirrored the North East Fife District Council . Following further local government reorganisation in the 1990s ( replacing regions and districts with a single-tier system of councils ) , it was proposed to further considerably reduce the number of Presbyteries ( possibly to as few as seven ) . This proposal was rejected by the General Assembly . Since 2003 several presbyteries have voluntarily sought permission to merge , as described below . Despite these mergers the existing Presbytery numbering system is being retained , albeit now with some gaps . It is the presbyteries which have oversight of parishes and pastoral responsibility for parish ministers , and the Kirk Sessions of the individual parishes are subordinated to them .
Dornoch Cathedral is a parish church in the Church of Scotland , serving the small Sutherland town of Dornoch , in the Scottish Highlands . As a congregation of the Church of Scotland , which is Presbyterian , the church is not the seat of a bishop but retains the name due to being , historically , the seat of the Bishop of Caithness . The Cathedral 's churchyard is adjoined by Dornoch Castle , the somewhat reconstructed remains of the medieval palace of the Bishops of Caithness .

Dunblane Cathedral is the larger of the two Church of Scotland parish churches serving Dunblane , near the city of Stirling , in central Scotland . The lower half of the tower is pre-Romanesque from the 11th century , and was originally free-standing , with an upper part added in the 15th century . Most of the rest of the building is Gothic , from the 13th century . The building was restored by Rowand Anderson from 1889-93 .

Dunkeld Cathedral is a Church of Scotland place of worship which stands on the north bank of the River Tay in Dunkeld , Perth and Kinross , Scotland . Built in square-stone style of predominantly grey sandstone , the cathedral proper was begun in 1260 and completed in 1501 . It stands on the site of the former Culdee Monastery of Dunkeld , stones from which can be seen as an irregular reddish streak in the eastern gable . It is not formally a 'cathedral ' , as the Church of Scotland nowadays has neither cathedrals nor bishops , but it is one of a number of similar former cathedrals which has continued to carry the name .

St Giles ' Cathedral , or the High Kirk of Edinburgh , is a parish church of the Church of Scotland located in the Old Town of Edinburgh . Likely founded in the 12th century and dedicated to Saint Giles , the church was elevated to collegiate status by Pope Paul II in 1467 . In 1559 , the church became Protestant with John Knox , the foremost figure of the Scottish Reformation , as its minister . After the Reformation , St Giles ' was internally partitioned to serve multiple congregations as well as secular purposes , including as a prison , and as meeting places for the Court of Session and the Parliament of Scotland . During periods of episcopacy within the Church of Scotland , St Giles ' briefly served as a cathedral in the 17th century . In 1637 , a riot at St Giles ' against the religious reforms of Charles I precipitated the formation of the Covenanters and the beginnings of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms . In the 19th century , St Giles ' was restored and the internal partitions were removed . The current church building dates from the 14th century onwards and its distinctive crown steeple is one of Edinburgh 's best-known landmarks . Since the medieval period , St Giles ' has been the site of nationally important events and services and the chapel of the Order of the Thistle is located here . The church 's role in the Scottish Reformation and the Covenanters Rebellion has led to its being called the Mother Church of World Presbyterianism . Alongside housing an active congregation , the church is one of Scotland 's most popular visitor sites , welcoming over a million visitors in 2018 .
The Presbytery of Edinburgh is one of the forty-six presbyteries of the Church of Scotland , being the local presbytery for Edinburgh . Its boundary is almost identical to that of the City of Edinburgh Council area ( i.e . also including Kirkliston and South Queensferry ) . The current Clerk is the Reverend Marjorie McPherson . The Presbytery represents and supervises 83 Church of Scotland congregations within the area .
Glasgow Cathedral , also called the High Kirk of Glasgow or St Kentigern 's or St Mungo 's Cathedral , is the oldest cathedral on mainland Scotland and is the oldest building in Glasgow . Since the Reformation the cathedral continues in public ownership , within the responsibility of Historic Environment Scotland . The congregation is part of the established Church of Scotland 's Presbytery of Glasgow and its services and associations are open to all . The cathedral and its kirkyard are at the top of High Street , at Cathedral Street . Immediately neighbouring it are Glasgow Royal Infirmary , opened in 1794 , and the elevated Glasgow Necropolis , opened in 1833 . Nearby are the Provand 's Lordship , Glasgow 's oldest house and its herbal medical gardens , the Barony Hall ( Barony Church ) , University of Strathclyde , Cathedral Square , Glasgow Evangelical Church ( North Barony Church ) , and St Mungo Museum .
The Presbytery of Glasgow is one of the 46 Presbyteries of the Church of Scotland . It dates back to the earliest periods of Presbyterian church government in the Church of Scotland in the late 16th century . The Presbytery of Glasgow currently has 125 congregations , making it by far the largest Presbytery in the Church of Scotland . Congregations vary in location from suburbs and urban priority areas ( representing part of the poorest 5% of Scotlands population ) to outlying towns and villages . The Presbytery boundaries extend beyond the City of Glasgow to include parts of four other local authority areas ( East Dunbartonshire , East Renfrewshire , North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire ) .
St Magnus Cathedral , Kirkwall dominates the skyline of Kirkwall , the main town of Orkney , a group of islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland . It is the most northerly cathedral in the United Kingdom , a fine example of Romanesque architecture built for the bishops of Orkney when the islands were ruled by the Norse Earls of Orkney . It is owned not by the church , but by the burgh of Kirkwall as a result of an act of King James III of Scotland following Orkney 's annexation by the Scottish Crown in 1468 . It has its own dungeon . Construction began in 1137 , and it was added to over the next 300 years . The first bishop was William the Old , and the diocese was under the authority of the Archbishop of Nidaros in Norway . It was for Bishop William that the nearby Bishop 's Palace was built . Before the Reformation , the cathedral was presided over by the Bishop of Orkney , whose seat was in Kirkwall .
