Gilla Críst of Angus, ruled until 1206 as Mormaer of Angus. He was a son of Gille Brigte of Angus and younger brother of Adam of Angus.

Almost nothing is known of him, except that he married Marjorie of Huntingdon, the daughter of Henry, Earl of Huntingdon and Ada de Warenne, and that he was succeeded by his son Donnchad before 1206. His daughter Bethóc (Beatrix) was married to Walter Stewart, 3rd High Steward of Scotland and was mother to Alexander Stewart, 4th High Steward of Scotland.

There is some confusion concerning Gilchist's marriages. We follow the suggestions of 'Mathematical' but are not sure that they are fully secure.

The Scots Peerage (Kings of Scotland), Burkes Peerage 1934 (Moray), Burkes Extinct Peerages 1883 (FitzAlan of Arundel) state that Beatrix's father was the 4th Earl of Angus.
