Note 373 — Chapter X · THE CHURCH.

Reg. Prior. St. And., p. xxxv, No. 16, xxxvii, No. 30, 32. Denmylne Charters, No. 19, 39. Amongst the Culdees who were converted into the Provost and Chapter of St. Mary’s was William Wishart, afterwards Bishop of St. Andrews. If Robert Wishart, afterwards Bishop of Glasgow, was also a Culdee—a clericus uxoratus—it may explain the passage in which Hemingburgh throws an aspersion on his morals, “filios etiam episcopi nepotum nomine nuncupatos.” Vide Innes’ Sketches, p. 50, note 4.
