A painted copy of this portrait also hangs in the main ward corridor of the hospital, kindly donated by a Kinloch descendent. Until recently, nothing was known about the time David Kinloch spent abroad other than his own words in a poem printed in 1596, stating that he had spent six years imprisoned by the Spanish Inquisition. There was also a reference to the city of Rennes in Brittany in a birth-brieve letter for David Kinloch, written by King James VI in March 1596(97). A legend handed down through the Kinloch family descendents suggested that he had been released from prison in Spain after curing the Grand Inquisitor of an illness.
