Robert Arnot
Robert Arnot (1744–1808) was a Scottish Presbyterian minister and Professor of Divinity in St Andrews University, who was Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1794.
== Early life ==
Arnot studied (most likely at St Andrews) and was licensed by Cupar Presbytery on 5 Sept 1769. He was ordained Minister at the Parish of Ceres, Fife on 30 August 1770, where he oversaw (and perhaps even prepared) that Parish's report for the Statistical Account of Scotland. He was elected Clerk to the Presbytery in December 1777. He resigned this post on 16 October 1792 to take up his post as Professor of Divinity at New College, (nowadays, more commonly called St Mary's College, St Andrews). This had been achieved as a result of much lobbying, and the support of Dundas, and possibly as compensation for a failure to get the Chair of Ecclesiastical History.〔()〕
Arnot seems not to have published anything and was described by one historian as "''no scholar''". He owed his career to the influence of Robert Dundas, who managed Scotland on behalf of his father Henry Dundas. The Principal of St Andrews, George Hill, described him in 1791. "''There is not a more staunch friend to the true principles of moderation, or a man more firmly attached to the Constitution, in the whole Church than Dr Arnot''." He was therefore a loyal member of the so-called Moderates in the Church of Scotland. Thomas Chalmers in a letter from Anstruther 1800 says:
"''Dr Arnot resides in Kingsbarns, and will, I believe, win over the people by the popularity of his manners''". This related to the legal challenge of some of his congregation to his appointment as Minister there in 1800, in conjunction with his appointment to the Divinity Professorship.
