Born in or about 1550, Patrick Guthrie was the son of Charles Guthrie and Agnes Brown.

Also known as "Patrick of Collision".

Patrick Guthrie's marriage to Margaret Raitt took place sometime before 1575, but no Old Parish Records have been located for the couple.

Burke's Gentry lists only the following children: John Guthrie (Bishop of Moray, 11th of Guthrie), Charles Guthrie, James Guthrie (Minister in Kinnell and Arbirlot), Helen Guthrie. There are no OPR records.

He was a goldsmith by trade and also served as a Bailee of St. Andrews from 1601-1602.
