"Richard le Scot of Rankilburn, and Murthockston, appears among the barons of Scotland who swore fealty to King Edward I. of England 1296. He is the first ancestor of this family of whom there is definite record, and is styled in the Homage Roll as 'of Murthoxton' or Murthockstoun, now Murdiestoun, in the county of Lanark, which he is traditionally said to have acquired by his marriage with the daughter and heir of Murthockstoun of that Ilk. But he had also lands in Selkirkshire, which were restored to him in September 1296."
