The '''Diocese of Dunkeld''' was one of the 13 historical dioceses of Scotland preceding the abolition of [[Episcopacy]] in 1689.

==History==
It is thought that the diocese was constituted as far back as the middle of the ninth century. The first occupant was styled Bishop of Fortriu, the name by which the kingdom of the northern Picts was then known. This bishop was also styled [[Abbot of Dunkeld]], perhaps holding jurisdiction, formerly enjoyed by Iona, over the other Columban monasteries in Scotland.

The new bishopric appears to have included a great part of what afterwards became the [[Diocese of Argyll]], and retained its jurisdiction over various churches representing old Columban foundations. There were thirty-five bishops of Dunkeld from its foundation until the suppression of the Catholic hierarchy during the [[Protestant Reformation]] in the sixteenth century.

The Catholic cathedral, situated in the Perthshire town of Dunkeld, was erected between 1220 and 1500. After the Reformation the cathedral fell partly into ruins, although the choir is used for Presbyterian worship.

Despite the Reformation and the hostility of the new [[Church of Scotland]] to bishops, episcopacy was not finally abolished until 1689, although there had been a temporary abolition from 1638 until the beginning of the 1660s. The diocese was restored by the Catholic Church (with a different boundary), on 4 March 1878, by [[Pope Leo XIII]]. The new [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Dunkeld]] is one of the suffragan sees of the archiepiscopal province of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, and includes the counties of [[Perthshire|Perth]], [[Angus, Scotland|Angus]], [[Clackmannanshire|Clackmannan]], [[Kinross-shire|Kinross]], and the northern part of [[Fife]]. The diocesan cathedral, now dedicated to [[Saint Andrew]] rather than Columba, is located in Dundee, the residence of the great majority of the Catholics of the modern diocese. The cathedral chapter, erected in 1895, consists of a provost and eight canons.
