BLAIR, John, a Scottish author, contemporary with, and the companion, some say the chaplain, of Sir William Wallace. He attended that illustrious hero in almost all his exploits; and, after his death, which left so great a stain on the character of Edward I., he wrote Memoirs of the Scottish Champion, in Latin. But time has destroyed this work, which might have thrown great light on the history of a very troubled and remarkable period. An inaccurate fragment of it only has descended to us. It was published, with a commentary, by Sir Robert Sibbald; but little, unfortunately, can be learned from it.
