Era il nonno di Vescovo di Dunkeld, che fece erigere la cappella di Rosslyn.È conosciuto oggi a causa di una leggenda moderna che dice che ha preso parte a spedizioni in Groenlandia e Nord America quasi 100 anni prima di Cristoforo Colombo.Secondo una biografia pubblicata molti anni dopo la sua morte, egli morì in battaglia contro gli inglesi intorno al 1400. William Thomson, nel suo libro The New History of Orkney, scrive: "Ha avuto un singolare destino di godere di una sempre più grande fama postuma che poco ha a che fare con tutto ciò che ha realizzato nel corso della sua vita."
