Pope Francis has appointed Bishop William Nolan as the new Archbishop of Glasgow.
Bishop Nolan will succeed Archbishop Philip Tartaglia who died two days after his 70th birthday in January last year after contracting Covid-19.
Bishop Nolan, who has served as Bishop of Galloway since 2015, said he “overwhelmed” by the trust the Pope had invested in him.
He said: “It will be wrench for me to leave Galloway Diocese where for seven years I have experienced the kindness and friendship of so many people, particularly the clergy.
