Research Notes:
EARLY FALCONERS
"The Falconers of Halkerton claim descent from Ranulph Falconer, eldest son of Walter of Lowcorp, who obtained from William the Lion a charter dated at Montrose of the lands of Kingoven, in Coverin (?Kingoodie in Gowrie) and in the Mearns five davachs of land, namely, Balemaccoy, Achvendochan, Ballebeggen, Lacherach-geichkenni, and Davoch-endolach, to be held to him and his heirs of the King and his heirs in fee and heritage for service of his body, and if it shall happen that he cannot do the service of his body, he shall do (or cause) the service of one archer in battle. It was probably under this writ Ralph held the office of King's Falconer, which he is said to have received from King William."
