Patrick Sands

Patrick Sands (circa 1567–1635[1]) was the third Principal of the University of Edinburgh, serving from 1620 until demitting office in 1622. He was a "layman who had been unsuccessful at the bar", and was appointed as Principal by the town council in 1620, in an act seen by some as "scandalous nepotism".[2]
