John MacMorran

Baillie John MacMorran (d. 1595), merchant and Baillie of Edinburgh, killed during a riot at Edinburgh High School. His house at Riddle's Court is a valued monument on Edinburgh's Lawnmarket.
==Career==
John MacMorran was a merchant involved in shipping, with shares in nine ships worth over £4,000 at his death, and had exported one cargo of wax and salmon worth £3,928, large amounts at the time, indicating he was one of wealthiest merchants in Edinburgh.〔M. Sanderson, 'Edinburgh Merchants', in E. Cowan, ed., ''Renaissance & Reformation in Scotland'', (Edinburgh, SAP, 1983), pp. 190-1〕 MacMorran had been a servant of Regent Morton in the 1570s, and it was said that he helped conceal the former Regent's treasure. The townspeople also complained that he had exported grain to Spain (a Catholic country) in times of dearth.〔R. Chambers, ''Domestic Annals of Scotland'', vol. (1858), p. 144, 263: J. Melville, ''Memoirs of his own life'', (Edinburgh 1827), p. 267〕 He built a large house in Edinburgh's Lawnmarket, which still survives, now known as Riddle's Court.〔(RCAHMS Canmore, images of Riddle's Court )〕 A carved window frame with shutters from the MacMorran house is displayed at Edinburgh's Huntly House museum.〔pictured in R. Chambers. (''The Ancient Domestic Architecture of Edinburgh'', (1859) ), p. 9〕
