Lilias appears to have had as her dowry the ten-merk land in Lanton called Gledstanesland, which, when Sir Simon Glendonwyn's charter of Scraisburg was confirmed, 18th January 1466, by King James III. to Robert Ruthirfurd of Chatto and his wife Murgaret, was held by George Gledstanys of the family of Coklaw, whose ancestors these " nobil menne James de Gledstanes and Thomas de Gledstanes witnessed in 1404 sasine to the Abbot of Melrose of Great Cavers, under a Bull from Pope Benedict XIII." The family of Coklaw and that ilk ended in 1737 with Janet, daughter of Robert Gledstanes of that ilk and Coklaw, who died unmarried.
