When he was twelve he entered Glasgow University (not unusual at the time), and after taking his M.A. degree and while attending theological classes he was appointed University Librarian in 1697. In 1703 he became licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Paisley with a view to becoming Minister at Eastwood. He was a Minister in Glasgow in 1712, and in Stirling in 1717 and 1726, but for much of his life he was in Eastwood. In 1721-1722 he published The history of the sufferings of the Church of Scotland from the Restoration to the Revolution Robert Wodrow died on 21 March 1734.
