Malcolm Laing [1]
Scottish historian, born in Orkney; passed through Edinburgh University to the Scottish bar, to which he was called in 1785, but proved an unsuccessful advocate; turning to literature, he edited "Ossian," and wrote a "History of Scotland from James VI. to Anne", in a subsequent edition of which he inserted the well-known attack on Mary Stuart (1762-1818).
