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

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.

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

First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling…
