• Source: Abbot of Deer

The Abbot of Deer (later Commendator of Deer), was the head of the Cistercian monastic community of Deer Abbey in Buchan. It was founded in 1219 by William Comyn, jure uxoris Earl of Buchan. There was an earlier community of Scottish monks or priests which was probably absorbed by the new foundation (see Deer Abbey). It was turned into a secular lordship for Commendator Robert Keith II (becoming Lord Altrie) in 1587. The following is a list of known abbots and commendators:
