A former chaplain to one of Scotland's toughest prisons is to be the new moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
The Reverend David Arnott, who spent two years as a part-time chaplain at Barlinnie, has been named as moderator-designate. The minister is a regular guest on BBC Radio Scotland's Thought for the Day.
The married father-of-three and grandfather-of-six was born in Dunfermline, Fife. He will replace Rev John Cairns Christie at the Kirk's next general assembly in May 2011. The role is an honorary one which is held for a 12-month period.
