SIMON, his son.
He was created Second Lord High Stewart of Scotland.
His name is found in the foundation charter of the Monastery* of Paisley dated
1161, and he is designated "Simon frater," "Walter filis," "Alan Lapiferi" and
"Regis Sectiac." This Monastery is supposed to have been the first original house
of the Boyds of Scotland, 1157, and supposed to have been in the possession of
Walter Fitzalan, ancestor of the royal Stewarts.

Being of fair complexion he was named "Boyt" or "Boyd" taken from the Gaelic
or Celtic word "Boidt" or "Boidel" and from this fact the first surname "Boyd"
arose, and from him the families of the "Boyds" in the Old World descended.
He is designated nephew of Alan, First Lord High Stewart, and in a contract between
Bryce de Eglinton and the village of Irvin in 1205, he is designated "Dominus
Robertus Boyd" and at that time and since then, the Boyds have carried the
armorial bearings of the Stewarts and prove their descent from that illustrious
house.

He was a supporter of Robert Bruce and continued so until the independence of
Scotland was established, June 23, 1314, by the decisive Battle of Bannockburn,
and for his loyal services he was rewarded by Bruce with gifts of land of Kilmar-
nock, Bondington and Hertschaw. The lands of Kilbyrd and Ardnel, or Portin-
cross, situated in the parish of west Kilbride, were conferred upon him about 1308,
and from his younger son, Thomas, the Boyds of Portincross descend. These lands
remained in that family until 1737.

SIR ROBERT BOYD (9th) was accused, along with his brother, Alexander, of having
carried the young King James III (then eight years of age) from Linlithgow to
Edinburgh, "to enter upon the regal government, while he was yet in his minority."
Parliament and King James II himself declared the Boyds were innocent of all
crimes and such a decree was registered among Acts of Parliament. However,
the many favors bestowed upon ROBERT by James II caused jealousies among
the nobles who planned to overthrow him. This was finally accomplished, and
ROBERT and Alexander, his brother, were sentenced to be executed and lands
confiscated. Alexander was executed on Castle Hill in Edinburgh in 1469.
ROBERT, who had fled to England when he learned of the intention to ruin him,
was not executed but died in Alnwick, England, in 1470, of a broken heart over
the fate of his family.

MARRIED Margaret (or Mary) Stewart, King James' eldest sister. By this union SIR
THOMAS obtained considerable wealth, and was created the Earl of Arran.
Margaret was to have been given by her mother in marriage to Edward, Prince of
Wales.
Apparently her marriage to THOMAS (10th) incurred the displeasure of her brother,
King James, as he had her placed in confinement in Dean Castle during the life
of her husband, Thomas (10th), to whom she was devoted, and the marriage
declared null and void.
After the death of THOMAS (10th), his wife was released and she was married (it
is thought by compulsion) to Lord Hamilton, to whom the Earldom of Arran was
then given.

He was the last of the Boyds who lived at Dean Castle.
In 1745, Prince Charles (known as the Young Pretender, the last of the Stewart
dynasty to be recognized) planted his standard in Scotland and succeeded in gain-
ing the attachment and support of many of the nobles and gentlemen of influence.
William became one of Prince Charles' adherents. He was appointed colonel of the
Hussars by Prince Charles and accompanied the insurgents to England.
The Duke of Cumberland arrived from Scotland to suppress the Rebellion and on
Apr. 16, 1746, at Drummossie Moor, near Culloden House, a short distance from
Inverness, vanquished the army of Prince Charles.
William, the fourth Earl of Kilmarnock, among others, was taken prisoner to London
Tower and brought to trial July 28, 1746, in Westminster Hall.
The Lord High Stewart and one hundred thirty-six peers were present.
William Boyd, who was a tall and slender person of dignity, stood up and pleaded
guilty, and recommended himself to the mercy of the King. He was executed Aug.
18, 1746, after all pleas and petitions in his behalf had been rejected.
Interment was made at his own request close by the side of Marquis of Tullibardine
in the Church of St. Peters, London. Inscription on his coffin: "Guilielmus, Comes
de Kilmarnock, Decollates, 18 Augusti 1746, Aetat Suae 42."
His wife, Annie, died of grief Sept. 16, 1747, at Kilmarnock.
THREE SONS:
(1) Robert Boyd, the Earl of Errol.
He was called Lord Boyd.
By a trust deed dated 1732, and confirmed by the House of Peers, in 1752, he
recovered the land of Kilmarnock, forfeited by his father, and this was
sold afterwards to the Earl of Glencairn. Upon the death of his great-aunt,
the Countess of Errol in her own right, he succeeded to the title of Errol in
1758. The sale of the title of his forefathers closed the last title of the
Boyds of Scotland. This had been handed down from one generation to
another for nearly eight hundred years. He then took up his residence at
Slains Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, situated upon the sea coast.

He took up the spirit of the rebellion with his father, and was also engaged
in the same Battle of Drummossie with his father. Soon after the fight he
fled to the Island of Arran, the ancient property of the Boyds, where he
concealed himself for a year.' He then went to France and married a French
lady and resided there for about twenty years, when a pardon was granted
to all the rebels, and he returned again to his native country and resided
with his brother in Aberdeenshire.

(3) William Boyd
He was in the Royal Navy and was promoted in 1761 to a company of the
Fourteenth Infantry. Being close to the time of the Revolutionary War he
may have been sent to America with his regiment. Some Boyd families
today connect their lineage to him, or to a Boyd of that name, who settled
in the middle or eastern States.
The present Earl of Errol, known as Hays, is the direct descendant of the Boyd
family in the lineal line. In the Peerage of the United Kingdom, he is called
Baron Kilmarnock of Kilmarnock.
(From History of the Boyd Family and Descendants by William P. Boyd,
published in 1912.)
The city of Kilmarnock, the original home of the Boyd family in the Old World,
is situated a few miles inland upon the western coast of the Highlands of the romantic
country called "Scotland." The place today is one of the largest towns in the County
of Ayr and rests upon the banks of two mossy streams called Irvin and Kilmarnock,
some fifteen and one-half miles by rail northeast of Ayr and twenty-four miles
southwest of Glasgow.
Kilmarnock, for a long time after the death of "Marnock," a noted Irish minister
or prophet, from whom its name is derived, must have been a mere hamlet, for we
find no trace of it in history until the year 1591, when our noble family of Boyds
became possessors of the land and made a burgh or barony of it. The earliest mention
of it is by Barbour, in his life of Bruce, as one of the chance places through which
the English knight. Sir Philip Mowbray, fled, after being defeated by Douglass,
somewhere in the District of Cunningham, about the year 1306.
The town books go no farther back than 1686 and throw no light on the general
history of the place. The first entry of baptism was recorded for February 6, 1644.
One of the first notices of any consequence which we have of Kilmarnock, is in a
document giving the names of persons who voted on appointment of a Parish, or
clerk of a Parish, in the year 1507. In the list, the Boyd name appears fifteen times,
Smyth sixteen and Brown twenty times.
Kilmarnock was created a burgh or barony in 1591, under the Boyds, and its
charter was confirmed by Charles II, in 1672.
There is the following interesting document found among the archives of
Scotland today, which is the charter of King James VI to Thomas Boyd and Son,
erecting the town of Kilmarnock into a burgh or barony and reads thus:
"Charter and Infertnum by James VI. In favor of Thomas Lord Boyd in Life
sent and Robert Master of Boyds in Fee, dated 12 January, 1591."
"In witness whereof, etc., witnesses, etc., at Holyrood House, the twelfth day of
the month of January, in the year of our Lord MDXCI and of our reign XXV."
(Signed) James VI.
e banks of two mossy streams called Irvin and
In the village of Kilmarnock the Boyds erected at this time what was called
"Gallows Knowe" for punishment of those who failed to do as they were requested,
or were enemies to the will of the Boyds. The structure stood until 1861, when it
was torn down. Authority was given, as seen in the above charter, to Lord Thomas
Boyd to establish this "Gallows Knowe" in his barony. Dr. Johnson, an able writer
on Scottish history, says: "The name so called was in consequence of being the
place of execution in the days of feudalism. The Boyds had at one time the right of
pit and gallows, a privilege conferred on all Barons according to our old laws of
having on his grounds a pit for drowning women and gallows for hanging men
convicted of theft."
On May 22. 1668, the town of Kilmarnock was wholly destroyed by fire. Another
large fire visited the place on Saturday, April 26, 1800.
In Burns' time, Kilmarnock enjoyed the reputation of being the most irregularly
built town in the west of Scotland.
The Parish of Kilmarnock contains some interesting memorials and relics of
grandeur of bygone days. One of these is the very heavy grown ruins of Dean
Castle, the home of the Boyd family for nearly eight hundred years, which was
destroyed by fire in 1735.
Dean Castle stands at a distance of nearly a mile northeast of the present site
of the City of Kilmarnock. This city now rests upon lands once owned by the noble
Family of Boyd, in the County of Ayrshire on the western coast of Scotland. Its
situation, in country redolent of history, though not, perhaps, the most romantic, can
scarcely fail to delight the admirer of the magnificent in nature.
According to Dr. Jamieson, a noted historian, the name "dean" signifies a small
valley or hollow where the ground slopes on both sides. Not far from the castle
the scene is enlivened by two little mossy streams locally called the "Borland and
Crawfordland."
Francis Grose, one of Scotland's able writers, visited the castle about the year
1789, and made a drawing of its ruins for his "Antiquities of Scotland," from which
we quote:
"This is one of the ancient seats of the Boyds. Earls of Kilmarnock, for some
time the favourites of King James III. It was forfeited in the year 1745, after-
wards sold to the Earl of Glencairn, and in 1789. when this drawing was made,
belonged to Miss Scott.
"It lies a small distance from the main road leading from Kilmarnock to
Stewarton, and consists of a large vaulted square tower, which seems to have
been built about the beginning of the fifteenth century; this is surrounded by
a court and other buildings, apparently more modern. Upon the tower under a
defaced coat of arms, there is this inscription:
James Lord of
Kilmarnock
Dame Katherine Creyk
Lady Boyd
allows, a privilege conferred on all Barons according to our old
"The Lord James, here commemorated, according to Douglas, died in 1654. He
was a firm adherent to the royal cause, for which he was by Oliver Cromwell
exempted from pardon, and fined fifteen hundred pounds sterling. He was the
eighth Lord Boyd.
"In this castle, it is said. Lady Margaret (Douglas calls her Mary) sister to
King James III, was confined during the life of her husband, Thomas Boyd,
Earl of Arran, from whom she was divorced, notwithstanding she had borne
him two children. The pretext for this divorce was some legal impediment at
the time of marriage."
s of
The walls of the high tower are about ten feet thick. As a place of strength, as
well as a manor-house, the "Dean" appears to have been superior to many of the
strongholds of our Scottish barons of the older times.
After the burning of Dean Castle. William Boyd, Earl of Kilmarnock, lived at
the Marnock house, which is still in existence and is used as an industrial building.
The clan system took its origin largely from the mountainous nature of the
country, each family or tribe living in its own glen, the head being the chief. Combi-
nations of clans who were related were formed, the chief of the strongest clan becom-
ing head of the whole clan. The branches were called "Septs." Hence we find that
through relationship the Boyds were members of the Royal Clan of the Stewarts.
The tartan of the Boyds is the same as that of Royal Stewarts.

Moniack Castle is a 16th-century tower house located 7 miles west of Inverness, and just south of Beauly in Highland, Scotland. The castle was built in 1580 by members of the Clan Fraser.
the Clan Fraser.
Moniack Castle is built on the edge of the Aird, a range of hills to the west of Inverness, and looks out over the well-drained lowlands on the edge of the Beauly Firth. The site of the castle was once protected by the marshlands of the floodplain, but this is not an apparent strength today. The castle is an extended L-plan tower house of the Frasers.
astle is an extended L-plan tower house of the Frasers.
The older part of the castle consists of two wings laid out in an L-plan, with a large round stair tower in the angle. The western wing is older and is three storeys high, the northern wing is later and the thick walls suggest it may have formed part of the courtyard range of domestic buildings associated with the tower house; it has been altered with enlarged windows and is only two storeys, although it has the same roofline. Both have been significantly altered, as there is no vaulting within the castle at all. The tower, which is corbelled out to square above the wallheads of the wings, has been given a crenellated flat roof, and was the main entrance to the castle. It has very small windows with metal grilles, and is suggestive of a date of around 1600. In the early 1800s two large bow windows were added to the rear of the castle, and a two storey house was added on in 1830, also the date of the battlements at the top of the tower. Both wings have had the gables dropped to give hipped rooves at an undetermined date, and it is possible that the older wing has lost a storey in the process.

In the early 13th century the superiority of the lands of Moniack was resigned to the Bishop of Moray by John Bisset, and the lands were occupied as a Barony by the MacGillandrish family, but by the late 14th century they had been granted by the Bishop to Hugh Fraser of Lovat. The lands of Moniack were in the possession of Ewen Fraser, son of a Hugh of Lovat in 1430, and have remained in the hands off the Fraser family ever since, although they were split into two parts, Wester and Easter Moniack by Ewens sons, John and Hugh, in about 1457. Wester Moniack, also known as Reelig, was the site of the castle. It passed to John, and to his son Thomas, but Thomas was succeeded in 1539 by his sister Margaret, who married Thomas Fraser of Wester Aigas in 1551. Easter Moniack passed from Hugh’s descendants to Thomas Fraser of Strichen in 1621, and in 1662 Alexander Fraser purchased them back from him, reuniting the lands of Moniack under one laird for the first time in over 200 years. The castle was resigned back to the Fraser Lords Lovat some time before the mid 18th century, since it was occupied by the Jacobite Simon Lord Lovat in 1745. Today it remains the private home of the Fraser family and is no longer open to visitors.
