COLVILLE, Robert of Hilton, Clackmannanshire ¹

   User ID: A547.

  General Notes:

"Robert Colville of Hiltoun, who is directly represented by the present Viscount Colville, has not been clearly ascertained to be the half-brother of Sir William Colville, as has been asserted. He and his son of the same name are confused and merged into one by Wood in his edition of Douglas's Peerage. It was the son who acquired part of Ochiltree and other lands belonging to the main line of the family, but the son was certainly not the nearest heir-male, as Wood states, for brothers-german of Sir William were then alive."

from Scots Peerage (vol 2) ¹
