Bishop Stephen Robson has been appointed as the new Bishop of Dunkeld by Pope Francis.
He will replace Bishop Vincent Logan, who stood down after almost 30 years in 2010 on health grounds.
Bishop Robson, who is 62 and was ordained in 1979, previously served as assistant to Cardinal Keith O’Brien for almost 30 years.
His installation is due to take place at St Andrew’s Cathedral in Dundee in the new year.
Reacting to the announcement, Bishop Robson said a big priority for him in his new role would be to encourage vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
