Robert [1]

a Scotch prelate, was an Englishman, and was brought, with five others, into Scotland by Alexander I, to instruct the people and to be good examples to them in the observance of the monastic rules prescribed by St. Augustine. He was made prior of Scone in 1115, and in 1122 became bishop of St. Andrews. He was consecrated in 1126 or 1127. He died in this see in 1159. This prelate founded the priory of Lochleven, to be annexed to his new foundation. See Keith, Scottish Bishops, page 8.
