James Livingston was a 15th-century cleric from East Lothian in south-eastern Scotland. Born at an unknown date in the 1400s, he was a son of the Laird of Saltcoats.Dowden, "Bishops of Scotland", p. 77.] He chose a career in the church, and became rector of the churches of Forteviot and Weme, and vicar of Innerleithen. By 1474, if not earlier, he had become dean for the whole diocese of Dunkeld. [Watt, "Fasti Ecclesiae", p. 105.] After the death of Thomas Lauder, Livingston was chosen as his successor as Bishop of Dunkeld.Watt, "Fasti Ecclesiae", p. 98.] Although Livingston's appointment was contested at Rome by Thomas Spens, Bishop of Aberdeen, who wanted to be translated to Dunkeld, Livingston was consecrated on June 30 1476. Livingston's episcopate is relatively obscure; he spent a good deal of time in Edinburgh, where he is witness to several charters.Dowden, "Bishops of Scotland", p. 77.] He died at Edinburgh, on August 28 1483. [Dowden, "Bishops of Scotland", p. 78; Watt, "Fasti Ecclesiae", p. 98.] He was buried in Inchcolm.
