(fl. c.1508) Scotland's equivalent of *Caxton, as the country's pioneer of printing. He learned the craft in Rouen and brought French printers with him back to Edinburgh, where he and Walter Chepman (c.1473–c.1538) were granted in 1507 a joint licence and monopoly for the printing and selling of books in Scotland. The first title they issued, in 1508, was John Lydgate's Complaint of the Black Knight.
