Alexander Kinninmonth and the declaration of Arbroath
There is more information on Alexander Kinninmonth in "Robert Bruce and The Community of the Realm in Scotland", 3rd Edition 1988 by GWS Barrow, Edinburgh University Press.

On page 308, Prof Barrow makes the case that Alexander Kinninmonth was the author of the Declaration of Arbroath, on the basis that he was a papal chaplain and used to presenting arguments in the correct Latin form to the pope, that the Declaration itself was not written by a committee but by one man, and that the man who took it to the pope and presented the arguments in person was Alexander.

He was pastor of Kinkell at the time.
