Marriage Notes:
"Andrew, frequently designed as in Pitcarles, a holding on the Arbuthnott estate 'adjacent to the manor place.' On 31 October 1555, he obtained from George Straiton a charter of the lands of Little Fiddes to himself in liferent, and Robert his son and apparent heir in fee. He lived, as his son the Principal remarks, in such wise 'ut dubitari potest meliorve an prudentior vir extiterit,' and died August 1570 at the age of seventy-three. His testament was recorded on 16 January 1571. It was at his suggestion, and largely with his aid, that Principal Arbuthnott wrote his account of the family to which reference has already been made. He married Elizabeth Strachan, daughter of Alexander Strachan of Thornton..."
