With out looking at a map I can think of three:
Belfast;
The Cathedral of The Isles, Millport; and
Carlisle.I am not sure if there are others, the next two which are probably further than Glasgow are Newcastle and St Mary’s Edinburgh

Greetings from Cowal & Bute.
Carlisle Cathedral must be closest to Castle Douglas.
I suspect that St German in Peel, diocese of Sodor & Man, is next closest as the seagull flies – the radio reception from the Isle of Man is extraordinarily clear down there.
Cathedral of the Isles on Great Cumbrae and Glasgow – pretty similar I would have thought, Calmac notwithstanding. Your poor horse would need waterwings to get over there, and your gaiters would have to fully waterproof.

St Mary’s is closer than the Cathedral of the Isles, but only by about a mile and a half.

Ceilidh! Ceilidh! Ceilidh!
Sunday is Pentecost – the birthday of the church. By way of marking this event in this our year of jubilee, celebrating having been a cathedral for 100 years, St Mary’s is a-partying on Sunday evening. Evensong (once again featuring the full choir of trebles and adults) will be followed by the ceilidh of the…
