description: "Walter Bower was a Scottish canon regular and abbot of Inchcolm Abbey in the Firth of Forth, who is noted as a chronicler of his era. He was born about 1385 at Haddington, East Lothian, in the Kingdom of Scotland. In 1991, Donald Watt said of Bower's Scotichronicon that \"We are more and more convinced that this book \nis one of the national treasures of Scotland, which should be studied in depth for many different kinds of enquiry into Scotland's past.\""
