Notes

Re Agnes Gordon

From http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ancestors...

From http://www.clanhay.org/history/the-house-of-dronlaw/

With the death of the sixth laird in 1548, Delgatie passed to the heir of entail, Alexander Hay of Artrochie, a descendant of Sir Gilbert of Dronlaw’s younger son, Gilbert Hay of Carmuck.  His heir, William, eighth laird, married Lady Beatrice Hay, daughter of his chief, the seventh Earl of Erroll.  Their son, the wild and ungovernable Alexander, ninth laird, was a participant in a celebrated bigamy case which rendered subsequent lairds illegitimate.  He is the laird who fled the castle during the Earl of Argyll’s siege in 1594, leaving it in the care of his formidable mistress, a ghastly six-foot redhead named Rohaise, whose ghost is said to haunt Delgatie Castle to this day.
