First Minister. THOMAS SCOTT, previously minister of a Presbyterian church in Hexham, where he was ordained, 24th November 1756, by the Northumberland Class. In 1761 he was invited to Colinsburgh, but he declined it on account of his inability for such a great charge." We infer that, like his brother, the Rev. James Scott of Jedburgh, he was a native of Wilton parish, near Hawick, and had been a licentiate of the Established Church. From a manuscript sermon of Mr Gillespies we learn the exact date of his induction at Auchtermuchty. Preaching there on a Fast Day, 10th August 1763, he began with the words : " To-morrow one is to be admitted as your pastor." " Bob Foran Feb 2021 "I believe Robert Scott's father, Rev Thomas Scott, was the minister of the church in Hexham as below: CHURCH: Minister of Hexham. CHURCH: Licentiate of Church of Scotland.
