   User ID: W386.

  General Notes:

"There was an old branch of the Wauchopes, who possessed the lands of Culter, in Aberdeenshire. According to a transumpt of a charter, in the charter chest of Cumming of Culter, these lands were confirmed by Alexander II. to Robert Wauchop, son to Allan Wauchop - 'nos dedisse concessisse et hac nostra charta confirmasse Roberto de Waluchop filio Alani de Waluchop pro homagio et servicio suo terram de Tulmacboy per has divasas,' &c. This charter is dated 16th October, in the 33d year of his reign -1247. Robertus de Walohop, and Dominus Robertus de Walichope, who witness charters by Alexander Cumming, Earl of Buchan, to the Priory of St Andrews, were probably one and the same person."

from Wauchope of Niddrie-Merschell

"Robert (Wauchop) was known to also hold lands in the south of Scotland. In 1249, he was one of the six famed Scots knights appointed to meet with six English knights to settle the Law of the Marches. As witnessed in the Ragman Rolls of 1296, Robert (along with other Waughs and Wauchopes) paid homage to King Edward I of England in the wake of his triumphant invasion of Scotland."
