Andrew of Wyntoun was a Scottish chronicler and poet active in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. He is best known for his work, the "Chronicle of Scotland," which provides a historical account of Scotland from its legendary origins to his own time. Wyntoun's writing is notable for its use of the Scots language and its blend of history and poetry. Wyntoun was a prior at the Augustinian monastery of St. Andrews, where he likely composed much of his work. His chronicles are valuable for their insights into medieval Scottish history and culture, reflecting the political and social issues of his era.
