The early twelth century ecclesiastical centre at Mortlach, Banffshire, is traditionally the original site of the bishopric of Aberdeen. Certainly it did not originate at Aberdeen but was transferred there by David I under its fouth bishop, Nechtan, before 1131/1132. It became a suffragan of St Andrews in 1472. It was vacant from the death of William Gordon (1546-1577) until the restoration of the hierarch in 1878.
