St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral is one of two entries in this guide carrying the name St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh. Its defining distinction is therefore not the dedication alone but its identification as a current Roman Catholic cathedral. The supplied facts place it in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom, and give a review position of 55.956200, -3.187860. Those details make the entry a precise map reference for the Catholic cathedral rather than the city’s separate Episcopal St Mary’s.

That separation is especially important when planning a map-based visit. The Episcopal cathedral is represented by a different entry and a different review position, so a search for “St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh” without the Catholic qualifier can lead to the wrong place. This guide does not supply architectural descriptions, opening hours, prices or travel information for the Catholic building; it is consequently best used here for accurate institutional and geographic identification.

The entry is supported by the supplied official cathedral website reference and by its verified identity record, represented as Wikidata Q519072. Together, the name, Roman Catholic designation, city and coordinates explain why this exact place belongs on a map of current Anglican and Catholic cathedrals and co-cathedrals across Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
