John Erskine, 1st Laird of Dun, who received the lands of Dun from his father and had a charter to them from King Robert III on 25 October 1392. Unlike his father and grandfather who held that property as an ad junct to their other possessions and did not live there, Dun became the 1st Laird's only property and his home. His wife's name is unknown.

ERSKINE, anciently spelled Areskin, and sometimes Irskyn, a surname of great antiquity, and one which has been much distinguished in all periods of Scottish history, was originally derived from the lands and barony of Erskine in Renfrewshire, situated on the south side of the Clyde, the most ancient possession of the noble family who afterwards became Lords Erskine and earls of Mar.
