Robert Reid (died 1558) was abbot of Kinloss, commendator-prior of Beauly, and bishop of Orkney. He was one of the greatest of the bishops of St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Scotland, and his legacy was the founding of the University of Edinburgh. Robert Reid was Sub-Dean at Elgin Cathedral before becoming the abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Kinloss Abbey at Kinloss, Moray; he also held the priory of Beauly in commendam. He was respected for his learning and wisdom, and brought the Italian scholar, Giovanni Ferrerio of Piedmont to Kinloss in 1528. Ferrerio's teachings over a five year period made Kinloss a centre of academic excellence, and he wrote a continuation of Hector Boece's history, extending it to the end of the reign of James III of Scotland.
