General Notes:
"Walter succeeded to the Barony of Lundie, upon the death of his grandfather, Sir William Lundy of that Ilk. Walter was given sasine of the lands and Barony of Lundie in 1528. His inheritance of his lands appears to have not been straight forward. He recieved a new charter of infeftment of the lands and Barony of Lundie from King James V, on the 12th of July 1540. This charter was granted to him and his spouse and united the Lands of Haltoun and others into the barony of Lundie.
By 1554, Walter had granted a charter of his lands and the Barony of Lundie to his second son William (his eldest John dying before this date)."
"Walter was one of the earliest and staunchest supporters of the Religious Reformation of Scotland, and appears in many a Kirk and parliamentary record relating to this. John Knox, is known to have stayed at Lundie House as Walter's guest around the 23rd of August 1559.
In 1565, Mary Queen of Scots came to Lundie, and was received as a guest by Walter. He objected to her partaking in Mass, and as a result some seven months later, upon a return visit to the area by Queen Mary, Walter was committed to prison in St Andrews."
