a Scotch prelate, was reader at Petyn, in the diocese of Moray, and afterwards rector of Spot, in East Lothian. He was elected to the see of Glasgow in 1547. In 1558 he was put into the see of Argyle, and about the same time got the subdeanery of Glasgow in commendam. It is not certain whether he was ever consecrated a bishop. He became a Protestant at the Reformation. In 1565 he granted a charter to Alexander Stewart. He was still in the see in 1575. See Keith, Scottish Bishops, page 289.
