Henry Balnaves of Halhill was a Scottish reformer. He was born in about 1500 at Kirkcaldy and died in 1579. Educated at St Andrews he became a lord of session and a member of the Scottish parliament in 1538. He was one of the commissioners appointed in 1543 to treat of the proposed marriage between Edward VI and Mary. In 1547 he was one of the prisoners taken in the castle of St Andrews and exiled to France. Recalled in 1554, he busily engaged in the establishment of the reformed faith; assisted in revising the Book of Discipline, and accompanied Murray to England in connection with Lord Darnley's murder.
