Cormac of Mortlach
Cormac of Mortlach is the third Bishop of Mortlach, Scotland, according to the list of the Aberdeen Registrum.[1] He is known only by name. Skene tried to identify him with Bishop Cormac of Dunkeld,[2] but this argument rests purely on the similarity of an extremely common name. Cormac's successor Nechtan was bishop by at least 1131, when he appears in a charter recorded in the Gaelic notitiae on the margins of the Book of Deer.[3]
