Walter Goodall

Walter Goodall (1706?-1766), historical writer, born in Banffshire, and educated at King's College, University of Aberdeen. Afterwards he became assistant librarian to the Advocates' Library in Edinburgh. In 1754 he published an "Examination of the Letters said to have been written by Mary Queen of Scots", in which he combats the genuineness of the "Casket Letters." He also edited, among other works, Fordun's "Scotichronicon" (1759).
