Alexander Scrogie

In that year he attended the unlawful General Assembly in Aberdeen, chaired by Rev David Rait.

In 1621, he translated to St Machar's Cathedral in place of David Rait.

In 1638, he was officially rebuked for celebrating communion on Christmas Day (as the General Assembly had banned this).

On 15 July 1639, his house was seized by soldiers of William Keith, Earl Marischal's Regiment, in his capture of Aberdeen.

He stepped down from St Machar's in 1640 but did not fully retire until 1655 and died in Rathven manse (the home of his son William) on the north coast in 1659.
