Andrew Kennedy Hutchison Boyd , miscellaneous writer, son of Rev. Dr. Boyd of Glasgow, was originally intended for the English Bar but entered the Church of Scotland, and was minister latterly at St. Andrews.

He was the son of Dr. James Boyd, born at Auchinleck Manse, Ayrshire, onNovember 1825. After receiving his elementary education at Ayr, he studied at Kings College School and the Middle Temple, London, with thoughts, apparently, of being an English barrister. I am the only kirk minister, he once said, who is a member of the Middle Temple. Returning to the university of Glasgow, he qualified for the ministry of the national church, gaining high distinction in philosophy and theology, and securing several prizes for English essays. He graduated B.A. at Glasgow in April 1846, and at the end of 1850 was licensed as a preacher by the presbytery of Ayr.
