Walter de Baltrodin

Walter de Baltrodin (Baltroddi; Baltroddie; died 1270) was a 13th-century Scottish bishop.

Origin and education If his name can be taken as a guide, he came from "Baltrodin" – Baltroddie (Pitroddie) – in Gowrie. Although it is not known which university or universities he attended, he had achieved a Master's Degree by 1259 and was later a Doctor of Canon Law.

Career He held canonries in the dioceses of Aberdeen and Caithness when, in 1263, he was elected Bishop of Caithness.

As is usual with bishops of Caithness, very little is known about Walter's episcopate. It is known he received a subsidy from the king taken from the profits of justice in the province. His death was followed, after some delay, by the election of Nicholas, Abbot of Scone.
