Andrew Scanlon on February 19th, 2025:

"St. Columba's Cathedral" and St. Columbkille RC Church are one in the same. Church built in 1875. Columbkille is a variant of Columba. This instrument was built for this church and is in its original home. It's likely that the building was colloquially known as "St. Columba's Cathedral" around the time it was built.
