The Great Seal of Scotland mentions Thomas Lauder (later Bishop of Dunkeld) as Master of the Hospital of Soutra on 26 February 1439 (no.226) and 20 May, 1444 (no.298).
Although he rose to the position of Bishop of Dunkeld, he had previously been Master of the famous hospital at Soutra Aisle, as well as the tutor to King James II of Scotland.
