Alexander Strachan

Alexander Strachan (died 1607) was church of Scotland minister.

[1] He was exiled following the General Assembly of Aberdeen for not retreating from his presbyterian principles.

[2][3][4] Alexander Strachan was on the Exercise at St Andrews 28 June 1593.

Strachan was one of those who constituted the General Assembly of Aberdeen on 2 July 1605, against the King's wishes, for which he was denounced on 18 July, and imprisoned at Blackness Castle on 3 August.

He went to Holland where he died of fever in Middelburg in 1607, after petitioning the King in vain for liberty to return on account of his health.
