David Kinloch

David Kinloch (1560–1617) was a Scottish physician and poet.

Kinloch was imprisoned by the Spanish Inquisition.[1]

In Scotland, Kinloch was appointed a physician to the king on 21 March 1597. James VI signed a lengthy Latin testimonial referring to Kinloch's kinship to Ramsay and Lindsay of Edzell families.[2]

Kinloch married Grizzel Hay, the heiress of the lands of Gourdie. He owned the estate of Aberbothrie in Alyth.

His portrait, dated 1614, is displayed at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.[3]

Kinloch published a medical treatise in Latin verse, De hominis procreatione, anatome, ac morbis internis (Paris, 1596).
