[Erected into a parish quoad sacr*a 30th
Oct. 1903. Gullane or Golyn gave the
name to the parish of Dirleton long ago,
and in the centre of the old churchyard
may still be seen, ivy-grown and neglected,
the ruins of the Parish Church, in its
day one of the most interesting in Scot-
land. By Act of Parliament, 23rd Oct.
1612, Viscount Fenton, Lord Dirleton,
with consent of the Presbytery and
" parochiners," was authorised to demolish
and cast down the kirk of Gullane, and
transport all the material of said kirk to
Dirleton, which was "ane flourishing
towne" and more convenient for the
parochiners, whereas Gullane Kirk was at
the "outsyde of the haill parochin," and
both kirk and manse were " continewallie
overblawn with sea sand." In 1633 the
manse also was placed at Dirleton. The
old Gullane manse or vicarage is still
visible in its original form. The kirk at
Gullane was dedicated to St Andrew as far
back as the ninth century.]

he distinguished himself highly, ultimately
becoming Professor of Oriental languages.
He returned to Scotland, and in 1548 had
license to go to France with James Stewart,
Commendator of St Andrews (afterwards
Earl of Moray). In 1552 the Commendator
granted him a pension of £50 a year from
the rents of the Kirk of Leuchars (Beg.
Sec. Sig., xxxii., 34). He was Prebendary
of Pitcoks (Stenton) in the College Kirk
of Dunbar in 1566, but had probably held
that appointment for some time before.
Having joined the Protestant party he
became the first min. of this parish about
1562. With Thomas Hepburn, DavidLind-
say, and John Craig he was appointed to
supply the unplanted kirks of the Merse,
and his name was mentioned for the super-
intendency of Jedburgh, 29th Dec. 1562.
