Abstract
The eighth in the series of published Govan lectures, delivered by Dr Steven Reid in 2010, studies the unique relationship that existed between the parish of Govan and the University of Glasgow in the aftermath of the Scottish Reformation. From 1577 the rents of Govan were annexed to the university in exchange for the Principal's service as ministers to the parish, an arrangement which continued unitl 1621. This paper looks at the financial benefits that the annexation conferred on the university, and surveys the surviving evidence of the ministries of the four principals who took up the charge of Govan during this period.
