David Chillingworth
Province: Scotland
Diocese: St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane

Formation: 1837; renamed 1844

The Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane is the Ordinary of the Scottish Episcopal Diocese of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane. The see is located at St Ninian's Cathedral in Perth, Scotland.[1]

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.[2] The current bishop of the united diocese is the Right Reverend David Chillingworth, formerly of the Church of Ireland, who signs David St Andrews.[3]
