Buried in the College Church of Aberdeen, 20th Oct 1583.From Provenance Catalogue: Arbuthnot studied for his M.A. at St Andrews, 1557(?5)-60, and later studied law at Bourges. He returned to Scotland in 1566 and was appointed principal of King's College in 1569. He held several charges and was Moderator of the General Assembly in 1573 and 1577. Well-respected but not a remarkable principal, Arbuthnot was at once poet, mathematician, divine, lawyer and physician, as reflected in the selection of his books now held by Aberdeen University Library. He died in 1583, aged 45 years."
