Ardross Castle (9)
The Isle of May on the horizon.
Paul Dishington, 7th of Ardross (you don't find many Paul's in Scotland in those days), the son of William, had two daughters who, upon his death became wards of the second Earl of Arran, who married them to two members of his own family. Paul's brother:
John Dishington 8th laird, moved the family to the Orkney Islands.
The Dishington family sold Ardross to Sir William Scott of Elie in 1607 (or 1611). Scott died in 1628, and was succeeded by his son, also Sir William. In 1661 Sir William is listed as a witness in the treason trial of Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquis of Argyll, having apparently witnessed Argyll’s burning of Menstrie Castle.
