In reviewing Glasgow Record Office christenings, we found the following families in Dundee, Lanarkshire. The spellings of the surname are as shown in the extract. Although the spelling is not that of "Prentice," it seems likely that at least some of them are Prentices.
John Prentie and Elspeth Kinnard Thomas Prentie, chr. 12 Mar 1657 Margaret Prentie, chr. 1 Aug 1659 Magdalen Prentice, chr. 9 Oct 1662 John Prentie, chr. 28 May 1664 Magdalen Prentie, chr. 27 Sep 1666 James Prent and Agnis Ramsey John Prent, chr. 16 Jan 1659 William Prent and Margaret Wat William Prent, chr. 18 Feb 1664 (probably) Agnis Prent, chr. 13 Mar 1665 (only father's name given) James Prent, chr. 24 Oct 1669 Jeane Prent, chr. 28 Feb 1671 James Prent, chr. 22 Dec 1673 Robert Prent, chr. 16 Mar 1678 John Prent, chr. 1 Dec 1679 John Prentie and Magdalen Rodger John Prentie, chr. 17 Sep 1668 Alexr Prentie, chr. 8 May 1671.

Patrick Prentie, chr. 6 Nov 1673 John Prentie and Janet Davidsonn John Prentie, chr. 8 Jan 1678 John Prentie and Margaret Small Patrick Prentice,chr. 8 Jul 1678
Since all of the children are born in about the same time frame, it may be that the men in the families are brothers, except John who may have had 3 wives.
