Herbert of Selkirk was a 12th century Tironensian monk, who rose to become 3rd Abbot of Selkrik-Kelso and bishop of Glasgow. While abbot of Selkirk, King David I of Scotland moved the abbey to nearby Kelso. He was elected to the see of Glasgow soon after the death of his Bishop John, and consecrated by Pope Eugenius III at Auxerre on St Bartholomew's Day, i.e. on August 24, 1147. He died in 1164.
