Ernest Denny Logie Danson (14 June 1880 9 December 1946) was an Anglican bishop in the first half of the 20th century. [1]

Biography

He was born into a distinguished clerical family — his father was Myers Danson, Dean of Aberdeen and Orkney [2] on 14 June 1880 and educated at Trinity College, Glenalmond and Aberdeen University. He was ordained deacon in 1906 and priest in 1907 and began his career with a curacy at St Paul's Cathedral, Dundee. [3] From 1906 he was a Missionary Priest in Southeast Asia eventually becoming Bishop of Labuan and Sarawak. [4]

He then returned to England as a Canon Residentiary of Carlisle Cathedral [5] and Assistant Bishop of Carlisle (both 1931–1938) [2] before being appointed Provost of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh and an Assistant Bishop of Edinburgh. [2] He was then elected diocesan Bishop of Edinburgh in 1939. [6] Four years later he was elected Primus of Scotland; [7] ill-health caused him to resign as Primus in May 1946, [8] and to resign his See in September [9] before his death on 9 December 1946. [10]
