  Marriage Notes:

"He (Robert Arbuthnott) married, secondly, Mariot or Marion Scrymgeour, daughter of Sir James Scrymgeour of Dudhope, Constable of Dundee (marriage-contract dated 10 September 1475).

Both she and her husband seem to have been devout persons. On 30 April 1482, in return for a contribution to the Expedition to the Holy Land against the Turks, they obtained from Brother John Litster of the Minor Brethren of the Observantines in Scotland, and Brother Emir de Hamel of the same order in those parts beyond the mountains, an Indulgence with the form of absolution granted thereupon. In the year 1487 Robert Arbuthnott, dominus ejusdem, and his wife and their issue of both sexes, were received into the privileges of the Order of the Observantines conform to letter of the Vicar-General of the Order, dated at the Convent of St. Maria de Angelis 'apud Tholosam in provincia de Aquitaine tempore generalis capituli super festo Penthecostes' in the said year. In 1491 they obtained under the hand of Julian, Bishop of Ostia, a papal licence dated at St. Mark's, Rome, 9 May, seventh year of the pontificate of Innocent VIII., to have a portable altar for the celebration of Mass and other divine services."
