"Son of Bishop Patrick Scougall, and Professor of Divinity at King's College, he left a number of volumes to the College library on condition that it employ its first librarian (1684). The portrait is possibly the work of the Scougall family of painters active in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The most likely is John Scougall (c.1645-1737), according to Brydall a cousin of Bishop Patrick and although based in Edinburgh is likely to have had connections to Aberdeen in the early 1680s."
