ARCHBISHOPS and BISHOPS of SCOTLAND.

To afford an exact list of the Bishops of Scotland, is next to an impossibility. Almost all the authors who mention them differ from each other so much, that the truth is extremely difficult to be got at. This is the less to be wondered at, when it is considered, that the country, for many centuries after the establishment of Christianity, was desolated with intestine broils and foreign invasions; and in the midst of a rude and barbarous people, it cannot be supposed that religious houses were regarded as sacred by the strongest party, when revenge or plunder suited their inclination or schemes. The records of most of the religious fraternities in this country were, at different times, either destroyed or carried off: so that a catalogue of its Bishops can only be guessed at from charters they have granted, or been witnesses to; and even the public archives give but a feeble assistance for some centuries after the establishment of Bishops.-But to proceed In Scotland there are two Archbishopricks, viz. St Andrew's and Glasgow; and twelve Bishopricks, viz.. Aberdeen, Argyle, Brechin, Caithness, Dumblane, Dunkeld, Edinburgh (which was erected into a See, so late as 1633, by King Charles I.) Galloway, the Isles, Moray, Orkney, and Ross. Although Glasgow was erected into an Archiepiscopal See, St Andrew's was always accounted the Metropolitan See of Scotland; and, before it arrived at the dignity of an Archbishoprick, resisted with great spirit all the attempts of the Archbishops of York in England to become the Metropolitans of Scotland. The Sees of Argyle, Galloway, and the Isles, were suffragans to Glasgow, all the others to St Andrew's.

The

THE SEE OF ST ANDREWS.

The legendary tale of transporting some of the relics of the Apostle St Andrew from the city of Patræ in Achaia, is recorded by all the ancient Scots historians; so that it is necessary to mention what is said of the matter, as it was not only the means of founding this See, but of introducing Christianity into Scotland :

Regulus, a Greek monk, living at Patræ, a city of Achaia (by whom the relics of St Andrew the apostle were preserved and kept), about the year 370, was warned by a vision in the night (three nights before the Emperor Constantius came to the city, with purpose to translate these relics to Constantinople), to go to the shrine in which the relics were kept, and to take out thereof the arm-bone, three fingers of the right hand, a tooth, and one of the lids of the Apostle's knees, which he should carefully preserve, and carry with him to a region towards the west, situated in the utmost parts of the world.— Regulus, at first troubled with the strangeness of the vision, after a little time, resolved to obey. So putting the relics in a little box, he went to sea, taking carpenters with him, Damianus, a Presbyter, Gelasius and Cubaculus, two Deacons, eight Hermits, and three devout Virgins. After long storms, the vessel was at last driven into the bay near the place where St Andrew's now stands, and there was totally wrecked upon a rock; but Regulus and his companions were all brought safe ashore, having nothing left them but the relics, which they were studious above all things to preserve.

"Hergustus, King of the Picts, (in whose dominions the shire of Fife, and all the low country of Scotland, then was), came to visit them in the place where they had settled, (now St Andrew's): It was then a forest for wild boars, and called Muckross. The King changed the name into Kilrimont, i. e. the King's Mount, and gave to Regulus and his company all the land of that forest, and erected a church, which was afterwards dedicated to St Rule or Regulus, and continues standing to this day."

Abernethy, in Perthshire, was the metropolis both of the church and kingdom of the Picts. The collegiate church was dedicated to St Brigida, or Bryde, who died about the year 518. Kenneth III, having
