George Douglas (bishop)

George Douglas (died 28 December 1589) was a late medieval Scottish nobleman and prelate.

After the assassination of Cardinal Beaton in 1546, Douglas was appointed the main minister of Arbroath Abbey.

On 6 March 1574, the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland censured him for "immorality" with Agnes Scott, widow of Thomas Dishington of Ardross.

He was very much an absentee prelate residing mainly in Edinburgh and participated in the troubled activities during James VI's minority.
