Note:

The Thanage of Fermartyn by William Temple (1894) names Adam Turin as possibly the father of William Turin, then lists William as second laird of Foveran, even though no evidential connection between Adam Turin and Foveran is presented.

This website has followed Descendants of Sir John Turing and Henry Turing in listing William Turin as the first laird of Foveran on account of the charter received from King David II. ²

TURING OF FOVERAN

"Sources differ regarding the early history of this family. According to Debrett's Peerage, [ref. 11]

'The family of Turing, originally French, settled in the barony of Tourin, in Forfarshire, which they held for several generations. Sir William Turyn attached himself to the fortunes of King David II., and shared that monarch's exile; his loyalty was however subsequently rewarded by a grant of the barony of Foveran, in Aberdeenshire, which his descendants held more than 300 years.'
