Barbour was a native of Aberdeen, a well educated man and served as Archdeacon at St. Machar's Cathedral for 40 years. He was not of noble birth and his date of birth and parentage are uncertain but by virtue of his ecclesiastical office we can trace him not only in the public records of both Scotland and England but also in the registers of his diocese. more >>

''That is coupled to foul thraldom.
But if he had assayed it,
Then all perquer he should it wit;
And should think freedom more to prize
Than all the gold in world that is.''
