People who run cathedrals in the Scottish Episcopal Church are called Provosts, in England and in the US and in much of the rest of the Anglican world they are called Deans.
For a while, old cathedrals in England had Deans and new cathedrals had Provosts. They made them all deans a few years ago.
In Scotland we also use the word Provost for the civic leader who would be called a Mayor in a lot of other places.
Deans in Anglican Dioceses in Scotland are similar to Archdeacons in England or Canons to the Ordinary in the states.

Calling me a dean is an understadable mistake. If hierarchy matters, I rank behind the bishop and the dean at diocesan functions. I rank behind the bishop alone at cathedral functions.
Usually I find that such hierarchical niceties have been worked out as a result of disputes of rather a long time ago.

Sermon 12 December 2004
One of the most important things that churches are learning about reading the bible is we must pay attention to the time and the place and the space in which we read it. For our God is alive and is with us in the here and now. When I turned to the gospel reading that…
