Robert Baron was a 17th-century Scottish Presbyterian minister and theologian, famously known as one of the Aberdeen doctors. Born in 1596 in Kinnaird, he studied at the University of St Andrews before beginning his career as a teacher and later a clergyman. He held significant academic and ecclesiastical roles, including serving as a professor of divinity at Marischal College. A staunch supporter of the religious policies favored by the Stuart monarchs, his theological stance and political loyalty eventually led to his exile and early death.
