[587] In the MS. this name stands in a kind of intermediate column by
itself. James Halyburton, sometimes styled Tutor of Pitcur. He was a
person of great activity and influence, and filled the office of
Provost of Dundee for the long period of thirty-three years. He died
in 1588, aged seventy.
[588] Robert, fourth Lord Boyd, had a pension from England, and was
concerned in most of the public affairs between 1560, and the Raid of
Ruthven in 1582. He was appointed an Extraordinary Lord of Session,

[589] Alexander Campbell, Dean of Murray, was the third son of Colin,
third Earl of Argyle. In the edit. 1621, the name Dean of Murray has
been separated from Alexander Campbell, as if two distinct persons.
Alexander Dunbar, Sub-Chantor of Murray, was appointed a Lord of
Session, 16th August 1560, as he appears in the Books of Sederunt, on
the 26th June 1566, under the designation of Dean of Murray, we may
presume that Campbell was then dead.
[590] William Colville, Commendator of Culross: see note in the
Appendix to the present volume.
[591] Alexander Gordon, titular Archbishop of Athens, was second son
of John, Master of Huntly, by Jane, natural daughter of King James the

and Icolmkill; and was translated to the See of Galloway, after the
death of Andrew Durie, in September 1558. He joined the Reformers, and
still enjoyed his titles; but he was not allowed to exercise his
functions as a bishop, nor was his petition acceded to, to be
appointed visitor of the churches within his diocese of Galloway. He
died 11th November 1575. (Register of Confirmed Testaments.)
[592] Thomas Kennedy, o Bargany, (in the parish of Dailly, Ayrshire,)
the son of Sir Thomas Kennedy. In 1540, he is styled "Apparent of
Bargany;" and died in June 1564. (Register of Confirmed Testaments,

[593] Andrew, (frequently by mistake called Sir Andrew) Ker of
Faldonsyde, in Selkirkshire. He was concerned in Riccio's murder, and

ratification of the third part of the lands and barony of Bolton in
1581. He married, for his second wife, Margaret Stewart, daughter of
Lord Ochiltree, and widow of John Knox. He died about the year 1598.
[594] Thomas Scott of Hayning, in Selkirkshire. A Charter of
Confirmation, "quondam Thomæ Scott de Hanyng," of the lands of
Eleistoun, in the shire of Roxburgh, dated 23d March 1575-6, shows
that he was dead in 1576.

served his heir. (Retours, Ayr, No. 13.)
