Duncan MacInnes (1897 – 9 August 1970) was a Scottish Anglican bishop in the 20th century.[1] [2]
MacInnes was educated at Edinburgh Theological College and ordained in 1927.[3] He began his ordained ministry with a curacy at St Columba's Clydebank, after which he was curate in charge of Knightswood.[4] He was a chaplain to the British Armed Forces during World War II and then Dean of Argyll and The Isles.[5] In 1953 he became the Bishop of Moray, Ross and Caithness, a post he held until his death in 1970. The eleven bells of Inverness Cathedral were restored as a memorial to Bishop Macinnes.
