Walter Haliburton, 1st of Pitcur

The Scots Peerage shows 2 generations of Walters. Burkes Extinct Peerages 1883 shows just one Sir Walter, High Treasurer and 1st Lord, who married Isabel Stewart. The Scots Peerage reports that, whilst it "is generally stated that" the second Walter was created a Peer, "this is very doubtful, and it is more probable that it was his son [Walter l’s grandson] who was the first Peer".
