(at Eddleston in 1560)

"George Hay, son of William H., fifth of Talla and Linplum, and Janet Spottiswood, and brother of Andrew H., rector of Glasgow Univ. ; was parson of this parish and of Rathven, which he held by a dispensation from the Pope, but conformed at the Reformation. In 1562 he was a member of Assembly, and appointed (as superintendent of Glasgow) to preach alternately with another in the unplanted kirks of Carrick till the ensuing Assembly. So great was his influence that he was called 'the minister of the Court';; when appointed to argue against Knox on the obedience due to magistrates, he declined, being of a similar opinion with him. In 1568, on a complaint to the General Assembly by Andrew Murray of Blackbarony, in name of the parishioners, of his neither preaching the Word nor ministering the Sacrament, he was sharply rebuked. He appears to have gone to his other benefice, where he died in 1588. He marr. Marion Henryson, who died in Oct. 1577, and had issue James, founder of the Rannes family.
