Adam Bothwell was born in 1530 and was the first post-reformation Bishop of Orkney. He became Commendator of Holyrood Abbey after the reformation. He was a political survivor of the unstable period, having arranged the marriage of Mary, Queen of Scots to James Hepburn. It was also Bothwell who crowned the young James I after Mary's fall from power.
