General Notes:
"III. SIR WILLIAM BAILLIE of Hoprig, Penston, and Carnbroe, son of the previous proprietor, was a great favourite of King David II., King of Scotland, who began his reign in 1329."
"1357 King David II. obtained his liberty and returned to Scotland, and was again joyfully received by the Scottish people. Now came the time to reward his faithul follower William Baillie ; and we find that on the 27th January 1358 King David II. made him a knight, and granted him a Charter of Confirmation of the Lands and Barony of Lambiston, lying in the shire of Lanark, signed before many honourable witnesses, which had come to him by his wife ; and I am of opinion that the view taken by Irving, in his work on the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire, that it was this Sir William rather than the previous one, who acquired the lands of Lamington, is correct,"
"This Sir William Baillie was witness to the subscription of a charter granted by Sir Hugh Barclay of Kilbirnie, Lord of half the barony of Crawfordjohn, in favour of John M'Moran and Margaret his wife, of his lands of Haymore, for services done and to be done. The Charter was signed at Edinburgh, 26th February 1357."
