Boyd, The Rev William (1748 — 1828)
Burns refers in 'The Ordination' to the public scene provoked by Boyd's induction at the Parish church of Fenwick in 1780. The trouble arose over Boyd's moderate principles: "Lang Patronage, with rod o' airn,
Has shor'd the Kirk's undoin;
As lately Fenwick, sair forfairn,
Has proven to its ruin:"
Boyd was finally ordained in the Council Chamber of Irvine on 25th June 1782. He eventually became popular, and remained in Fenwick until he died.
