Máel Brigte of Perth

1128) was an important figure in Perth in the reign of King David I of Scotland.

He is known only because the Church of the Holy Trinity in Dunfermline preserved written instructions from King David to Máel Brigte informing the latter that he had granted the church a tithe of his house in Perth.

Máel Brigte thus may have been David's stewart in the town, or perhaps even the local toísech.

The instruction was given at nearby Scone,[1] and it has been suggested that it was originally in Gaelic.

[2] The document calls him "Malbride Mac Congi", which probably means that his father had the name Congus, a rare but attested Scoto-Pictish name.
