Sir Gilbert Hay of Ardendraught and 3rd of Delgaty, was served heir to William Hay of Ardendraught, his father, 10 May 1503, as appears from the Sheriff Court Records of Aberdeen (Antiquities of Aberdeen and Banff, Vol. II. p. 353). He had succeeded prior to 1500/1501 when, still unknighted. he was admitted burgess of Aberdeen (Spald. Min. I. 40). He was knighted prior to 3 December 1503 (Ibid, Vol. II., p. 353). In 1503 William Fraser of Philorth resigned the superiority of Delgaty, to be held of the King by Gilbert, son and heir of the late William Hay of Ardendraught, and by 1510 Delgaty had been erected into a Crown Barony (Trans, of Buchan Field Club, X., p. 259).
