At the time of the restoration of the Scottish Hierarchy in 1878 the Marquis of Bute presented new mitres to the bishops of each of the six new dioceses - Galloway, Edinburgh, Dunkeld, Glasgow and Argyll.

The mitre of the Bishop of Argyll is pictured below. A crozier was also given to the new bishop by the people of Arisaig and "South Morer".
