Hugh Kennedie

He was deposed due to the difficulties between politics and religion in 1660 but returned in 1687 and became minister of Trinity College Church in Edinburgh.

[3] On 16 October 1690 he was elected the first post-Revolution Moderator of the General Assembly under the renewed annual election system following the 30-year gap in tradition,[4] during which it is often forgotten that a "Constant Moderator" was elected, covering much longer periods, such as Walter Bruce of Inverkeithing who served 1662 to 1673.

At this time the Moderator acted under partial control of a "Commissioner" a more political role.

[6] He died in Edinburgh on 25 April 1692 whilst still in office as minister of Trinity College Kirk, and was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard.

The latter was daughter of Joseph Douglas and Jean Sandilands, granddaughter of Lord Torphichen.
