  General Notes:

Robert Boyt swore fealty to Edward I. in 1296 ; but joined Sir William Wallace in 1297. [...]

For his faithful adherence to the cause of Bruce, says Wood, he had a grant from that monarch, Roberto Boyde, militi, dilecto et fideli nostro, of the lands of Kilmarnock, Bondington, and Hertschaw, which were John de Baliol's ; the lands of Kilbryd and Ardnel, which were Godfrey de Ross's, son of the deceased Reginald de Ross ; all the land which was William de Mora's, in the tenement of Dairy ; with seven acres of land, which were Robert de Ross's, in the tenement of Ardnel : all erected into an entire and free barony, to be held of the King. He had also a charter of the lands of Nodellesdale ; and a third, granting Hertschaw in freeforest. He was one of the guarantees of a treaty of peace with the English, 1323. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Halidonhill, 19th July 1333 ; and died not long afterwards."
