In the early days of the Scottish Episcopal Church, college bishops were men who were consecrated bishops in order to maintain apostolic succession but (extraordinarily) not appointed to any episcopal see. Fourteen such men were consecrated, eight of whom were later appointed to Scottish sees.[https://books.google.com/books?id=Ceey5RQHgHoC&pg=PA515 Bertie, David (ed.) Scottish Episcopal Clergy, 1689–2000: Chapter – College Bishops] p. 515 (Google Books; accessed 2 May 2014)
