Transcriber's notes
Parish of Harris County of InvernessSt. Clements Church is more distinctively an antiquity than a modern place of worship, being only occassionally used for the latter purpose. It is not a [Quord Sacia] parish Church. I think it was formerly a Cathedral Church and is still an object to Antiquaries.
