Restoration of the Scottish hierarchy
- Restoration of the Scottish hierarchy
The Restoration of the Scottish hierarchy refers to the re-establishment of the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland on 15 March 1878.[ [http://www.archdiocese-edinburgh.com/ Archdiocese of Edinburgh] , Accessed 2007-11-25] This followed on from the Restoration of the English hierarchy in 1850.]The restoration was carried out on the instructions of Pope Leo XIII and was one of the first acts of his papacy.

The "old" hierarchy had ended in 1603 when Archbishop Beaton of the Archdiocese of Glasgow died in Paris.
The restored hierarchy were members of the Apostolic Vicariate and the territories of the new dioceses and archdioceses were based on the ancient (pre-reformation) ones.
There were two archbishops and six bishops in the new hierarchy:
*Archbishop of Saint Andrews and Edinburgh
**Bishop of Aberdeen
**Bishop of Argyll and the Isles
**Bishop of Dunkeld
**Bishop of Galloway
*Archbishop of Glasgow
**Bishop of Motherwell
**Bishop of Paisley
The Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh was to be the Metropolitan See for Scotland with the Archdiocese of Glasgow to be under control of the Holy See.
It was nearly 100 years before Scotland had its first post-Reformation cardinal appointed. In 1969 Archbishop Gray of Edinburgh was elevated to the rank of Cardinal.
