Tour Scotland Photograph Mitchel Memorial Window St Machar’s Cathedral Aberdeen
Tour Scotland photograph of the David Mitchel Memorial stained glass window in St Machar’s Cathedral, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. David Mitchel, born 1591, died 1663, was a Scottish clergyman. Born in the Mearns, he became a minister in Edinburgh. He held the position until he was deposed by the General Assembly in 1638, after which he moved to England. While there he obtained a benefice, and in 1661, after the Restoration, he obtained a doctorate from the University of Oxford. In this period he became a prebendary of Westminster. Upon the restoration of Episcopacy in Scotland, he was made Bishop of Aberdeen, receiving consecration on 1 June 1662. He held this position for little over half a year, contracting a mortal fever. He died at Aberdeen in late January 1663, and was buried in the cathedral.
