_Prior Lachteim--Robert Douglas._--In Bishop Keith's _Affairs of Church
and State of Scotland_, Vol. ii. p. 809., Prior Lachteim is mentioned:
will any of your readers inform me who this person was? It is not
explained in the note; but it is suggested that by _Lachteim_ Loch Tay
is meant. Is this correct?
Query 2. Is there any truth in the report that Mary, queen of Scotland,
had a son by George Douglas, who was the father of Robert Douglas, a
celebrated Presbyterian preacher during the Covenanting reign of terror
in Scotland, after the Glasgow General Assembly in 1638? If, as I
suppose, there is no truth in this, what was the parentage and early
history of Mr. Robert Douglas? Wodrow notices this report, and says that
he was born in England. See Wodrow's _Analecta_, 4to., 1842, vol. ii. p.
166.: printed for the Bannatyne Club.
