An ancestor of mine was regent of Strathclyde while his brother was King of Scotland. Also where is Staindrop Cathedral? _____________________________________________________________ There was only one city in County Durham until modern times, and that is the city of Durham itself. There is no such cathedral as Staindrop, where Raby Castle is located. Strathclyde is in Scotland and not County Durham See http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/place_page.jsp?p_id=2778&st=staindrop http://www.visionofbritain.org .uk/descriptions/entry_page.jsp?text_id=805420&word=NULL Stan
