Bishop Vincent Logan (1941-2021)

On the occasion of his Silver Jubilee as Bishop of Dunkeld, in 2007, tributes flooded in to the Rt Rev Vincent Logan, who was hailed as a “great ambassador for the Catholic Church and for Dundee”, and a motion was tabled at the House of Commons recognising the contribution he has made to the local community.

At the time of his appointment in 1981 he was Scotland’s youngest Bishop. In the years since he has shown that it was a shrewd appointment by the Church, becoming a much respected and loved figure in the city and beyond.

In leading the tributes last year, Lord Provost John Letford noted that Bishop Logan “has always shown concern, not just for his own community, but for all Dundee’s citizens”.
