Archdeacon of the Isles

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Archdeacon of the Isles (or Sodor) was the only

Kirk Andreas as a prebend.[2] The office seems to have fallen into disuse after the time of Alasdair Caimbeul, who received crown presentation to the position in 1592.[3] It was to be revived in 1662.[3]
