2. He was sent there again at some point by the crown, receiving payment for this trip sometime between August 1362 and November 1364; he is not styled "bishop elect", meaning that this trip must have occurred before 1363.Watt, ''Biographical Dictionary'', pp. 325-6.

4. While seeking confirmation at the papal court, he probably presented a roll of petitions on behalf of King David II and did receive a number of faculties in order to grant dispensations in the bishopric of Galloway.Watt, ''Biographical Dictionary'', p. 326.
5. Sometime before 25 January 1365, he was in Galloway witnessing a charter of [[Thomas Fleming, Earl of Wigtown]]. He was a frequent attender of royal councils and parliaments until 1371, when his patron David II died and was replaced on the throne by David II's long-time rival, Robert Stewart, [[Earl of Strathearn]], who became [[Robert II of Scotland]]. Bishop Adam is thereafter a harder figure to trace, and little more is known about his activities besides the fact that he is said to have died at the papal court in Avignon during the vacancy of the papacy; that is, Bishop Adam died between the death of [[Pope Gregory XI]] on 27 March 1378 and the consecration of [[Avignon Pope Clement VII]] on the following 31 October.Dowden, ''Bishops'', p. 363; Watt, ''Biographical Dictionary'', p. 326; Watt, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', pp. 130-1.
