Sir Patrick Hume, of Polwarth and Redbraes (about 1550– 20 May 1609) was a Scottish landowner, courtier and makar (court poet).
[1] He is probably best known to history through his association with the Castalian Band, the group of court poets writing in Scots headed by the king in the 1580s and 1590s.
He was instructed to use the rents from the houses in the mains of Bonkyll to pay the wages of the king's huntsman John Acheson.
[4] Polwart became a Master of Household to Anne of Denmark in March 1602 and made an oath of fidelity to the Chancellor, John Graham, 3rd Earl of Montrose.
In November 1602 she commanded him to give her embroiderer Thomas Barclay a daily allowance of food, coal and candle in the household.
