Abbot Walter Bower (or Bowmaker; c. 1385 – 1449) was a Scottish canon regular 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.

Bower was trained at the University of St. Andrews and became the abbot of the Augustinian community on Inchcolm in 1417.

Quotes by Walter Bower (?)

“The wolf was sick, he vowed a monk to be - But when he got well, a wolf once more was he”

“Shield of the church, giver of peace to his people, guide to the wretched,
a king upright, strict, wise, prudent, honest,
a pious king, a brave king, a most virtuous king, a wealthy king;
he was himself the second of this name (that is Alexander).
He was himself king for three times ten and five years.
The island called Kerrera has carried this man off.
His spirit seeks the heights as it joins the heavenly bodies,
But Melrose retains his buried bones.”
― Walter Bower, Scotichronicon, Volume 3
