Andrew Honeyman

Andrew Honeyman or Honyman (died 1676)[1] was a Scottish[2] priest: he was Bishop of Orkney from 1664 until 1676.[3]

He was the son of David Honeyman of Pitairchney, a baker of St Andrews. He was a graduate of the University of St Andrews in 1635, and was presented to the parish of Ferry-Port on Craig in 1641.[4]

Answering Naphtali, a Covenanter pamphlet of 1667, Honeyman became involved in a polemic exchange with James Stewart, one of the presumed authors.[5] He was injured in the arm in the assassination attempt made by James Mitchell on James Sharp in 1668.[6]
