" Revd HUGH BLAIR "
( 1718 - 1800 )

Oil on canvas 36 x 28 inches

Kirk of the Canongate, Edinburgh.

Hugh Blair graduated from Edinburgh University in 1739.

Licensed to preach by the presbytery of Edinburgh in 1741,
he was ordained minister of Collessie in Fife the following year.
There then followed in fairly quick succession three charges in Edinburgh:
second minister of the Canongate in 1743,

Lady Yester's church in 1754, 

and the high church of St Giles in 1758.
He remained in that charge for the rest of his life.

In 1760, the council of Edinburgh appointed him Professor of Rhetoric
and two years later created a chair regius chair of rhetoric and belles lettres for him.

This reflected the reputation he had gained as both a preacher and a literary figure.
