The Catholic Churches in the north when I went on holidays were also more or less full in Edinburgh, Bristol, Cambridge etc.

Interesting. A woman who is a native Edinburger told me that there are very few Catholics in Edinburgh and that most of the churches there are Presbyterian or Methodist. However, she left there many years ago to settle in the US.

I don't think so -- the Churches I've seen are pretty old -- and there were about 9 or so in the city that I remember., I went to the one at Leith -- St. Mary's Star of the Sea

Most of the Presbyterians and Methodist Churches in Scotland are empty -- I'm not sure why quite frankly. Also, from my understanding most of the attendees in the Catholic Churches are immigrants from Ireland and there were a few indians over there
