- Archdeacon of Lothian
The Archdeacon of Lothian was the head of the
Archdeaconry of Lothian , a sub-division of theDiocese of St Andrews . The position was one of the most important positions within the medieval Scottish church; because of his area's large population and high number of parish churches, the Archdeacon of Lothian may have exercised more power than many Scottish bishops before the decline in archdiaconal powers after the 13th century.List of Archdeacons of Lothian
