'''Abel de [[Gullane]]''' ['''Golynn''', '''Golin'''] was a 13th-century [[Bishop of St Andrews]]. He had been [[archdeacon]] of the diocese, and subsequently a [[Papacy|Papal]] [[chaplain]]. In early 1254, after quashing the election of [[Robert de Stuteville]], the [[Pope]] [[Papal provision|provided]] Abel to the bishopric, a decision not universally popular in [[Scotland]]. His first appearance back at [[St Andrews]] as bishop was on 29 June 1254, when he is recorded as celebrating the Papal [[Mass (liturgy)|mass]]. He died only a few months later, on 1 December.
