Patrick Lindsay (1566–1644), bishop of Ross, archbishop of Glasgow, son of John Lindsay, and a cadet of the house of Lindsays of Edzell, Angus, was born in 1566, and studied at St Leonard's College, St Andrews, where he was laureated in 1587.
In the following year he received the living of Guthrie in the presbytery of Arbroath (Angus synod). Thence he removed to St Vigeans between 1591 and 1593. He was a member of the general assemblies of 1590, 1602, 1608, 1609, 1610, 1616, and 1618. In 1608 he was among those nominated for the moderatorship. In 1610 he was appointed one of the examiners of the Marquess of Huntly, to test the sincerity of his pretended conversion.
He strongly supported the episcopalian schemes of James VI, and was rewarded for his compliance by being appointed one of the new court of high commission for Scotland in 1610, and was continued in it on its reconstruction in 1615 and 1634.
In 1613 he was promoted to the bishopric of Ross, being consecrated on 1 December 1613, was granted the infeftment of the barony of Doway Petterlie on 19 December 1615, and in the same year was sworn a member of the privy council of Scotland (31 March 1615). Along with the other Scottish bishops, he sought to press on the assembly the royal articles of 1617, and signed the proclamation of the privy council against the book called The Perth Assembly, 15 July 1619. He was one of the two bishops appointed to go to court about church affairs in July 1627.
