  General Notes:

"The lands mentioned in this Retour (ie 'off all and haill the toune and lands of Beldornie, maner place yroff, the toune and lands of Belcherie, Lynbaines, mylne and mylne lands yroff, the toune and lands off Corithstoune, ower and neither Gowles, Litle Leatoch, Achnastank, Achlochies, Achbrek, Lagan, mylne of Lagan and uthers vith the pertinents.') include the lands in Glenrinnes... as well as those near Beldorney Castle, on Deveron side. It is evident that John Lyon, Junior, succeeded to both Craigfintray and Beldorney - probably wadset rights - in 1667. He, too, seems to have become embarrassed in money matters, as I have further learned from the Rev. C. Bruce that there was a decree of apprising at the instance of Capt. William Barclay of Achreddie agsinst John Lyon of Muresk, in respect of the lands of Beldorney and others in 1669-1670; and that, on the escheat of John Lyon of Craigston, the lands of Beldorney, &c, came into possession of George 3rd Lord Banff in 1679; how long the last named held them I have no information, but it may be presumed that he did so until Alexander Gordon of Tirriesoul bought up the bonds and burdens affecting them, and redeemed the estate in 1700. This Lord Banff lived till 1713, when he was burnt in the Castle of Inchdrewer."

from The Later Gordons of Beldorney
