The Bishop of Aberdeen (originally '''Bishop of Mortlach''') was the ecclesiastical head of the Diocese Of Aberdeen , one of Scotland 's 13 medieval bishoprics, whose first recorded bishop is an early 12th Century cleric named Nechtan . It appears that the episcopal seat had previously been at Mortlach (Mòrthlach) , but was moved to Aberdeen during the reign of King David I Of Scotland . We know the names of three bishops of Mortlach, the latter two of whom, "Donercius" and "Cormauch" (Cormac), are known only by name. The Bishop of Aberdeen broke communion with the Roman Catholic Church after the Scottish Reformation . Following the the Glorious Revolution , the office was abolished. A Roman Catholic diocese was recreated in Aberdeen in 1878.
