"A charter of King James IV., given at Inverness, 24 Jan., 1497, confirming a disposition by Beatrix Dunbar of Cremond to Alexander Innes of that ilk, (I suppose she was of kin to Christian, Laird Alexander's wife,) of Kilmalaymak, Petgony, Dunkempty, St. Andrews Kirktown, and Barflathills - is among the papers of the Inneses of Leuchars, which they have kept perhaps all the more carefully, that they could not keep the lands. Beatrix's charter is dated at Bogingour, 4 Sep., 1497, and is witnessed by Thomas Hay, her son. (The great barony of Kilmalemak came, I suppose, through the heiress of De Moravia to the Douglases, in whose hands it was in 1426 (Great Seal Reg.) After their forfeiture, we find it the property of John Dunbar of Creichmunpark, knight, and on his resignation, Beatrix Dunbar, (his daughter ?) and her husband, Master Gilbert le Hay of Ury, had seisin of it on a Crown precept, 1 March, 1472. At that seisin, a noble man, Alexander Dunbar of Westfield, knight, was Sheriff, James Douglas of Pedindreich and George Hart were attorneys for the Hays, and Alexander Fauconer, lord of Hakarton and baron of Lethine, John Froster, Alexander Fauconer, and Thomas Collie, mair, and George of Dunbar, witnesses. The investiture was given at St. Andrews kirktown." (page 90) "On 9 March, 1513, we have a decree of the Lords of Causes, cassing and annulling an apprysing led upon the lands of Drumkynty and St. Androis kirktoun - as the lands of Alexander Innes of that ilk- for 400 merks, 200 merks, and £40 due by him to Mr. Gilbert Hay as assignee to Beatrix Dunbar of Crechmund his mother, because the lands pertained heritably to Alexander Innes of Dunbeath, [the Laird's son] who was at the time of less age (7 years old.)"
