Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane

The Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane is the Ordinary of the Scottish Episcopal Diocese of Saint [Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane|Diocese of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane]. The see is located at St Ninian's Cathedral in Perth, Scotland.
Following the Glorious Revolution, the Church of Scotland abolished the Episcopacy in 1689 and adopted a Presbyterian government. The Episcopalian remnant slowly formed the independent Scottish Episcopal Church. In the 19th century, the three dioceses were gradually merged to become the present Diocese of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane. The Right Reverend David Chillingworth retired as bishop at the end of July 2017. An electoral synod to elect a bishop to succeed him was not convened until 2 June 2018, when it elected Ian Paton, Rector of Old [St Paul's, Edinburgh]. He was consecrated and installed as bishop during a service at St Ninian's Cathedral, Perth, on 20 October 2018 and is still in office.
