General Notes:
"David Strachan of Carmylie is mentioned in Reg. Ep. Bre., 20th January, 1512-3. Shortly after this date David Strachan died. Alexander, his son, on succeeding to the property, granted a bond of manrent or personal service and attendance in favour of his superior, by which he bound himself by an oath to become 'man and retainer, both in household and outwith household,' on his own expense, to Sir Thomas Maule and his heirs whenever he was ordered to 'ryd or gang and to take part with my said maister in all his actions, causes, and quarrels, mowet or to be mowet be quhatsomever person or persons.'
Sir Thomas Maule, accompanied by Alexander Strachan and other great vassals and retainers, went with King James IV. to Flodden, where most of them fell, including, it is supposed, Alexander Strachan. Alexander Strachan, junior, is mentioned 1509."
