Waughton Castle (9)
Patrick Hepburn 6th of Waughton, was laird during the comparatively quiet period between the upheavals of the 16th century in which he and his brother Robert had been involved in in their youth, and the upheavals of the 17th century, in which his children and grandchildren would later be involved in! He married, contract dated 31 March 1565, Isabel Haldane, daughter of John Haldane, 7th of Gleneagles. Their most notable achievement was the building of the present castle at Luffness, an angle turret of which carries their initials and the date 1584. He died after 17 August 1597 and was succeeded by:-
Sir Patrick Hepburn, 7th of Waughton, was also known as 'of Redbraes' (Berwickshire) and 'of Luffness'. His wife is given in various sources as Margaret Lauder, however this appears to be incorrect (his great-grandfather Mungo had married a Margaret Lauder). His wife seems to have been Jean Murray, 5th and youngest daughter of John Murray, 1st Earl of Tullibardine.
Patrick was given much property by his nephew, George Lauder of The Bass and by Lauder's mother (Patrick's sister) Isobel Hepburn, Lady Bass, who being Royalists and having spent much time at Court with Charles I, feared forfeiture. In a Supplication dated 15 September 1641, by Sir Patrick Hepburn of Waughton addressed to the King and the Estates of Parliament, he mentions that he has lately acquired the right of the lands of Popill and Auld Haddington from the Laird of The Bass.
Sir Patrick was a Lieutenant-Colonel who raised a 400 strong infantry regiment in East Lothian, which served in General Leslie's army of the Covenant, 'Wauchtoun's regiment' entering England on the 20th August 1640. Sir Patrick was one of the commissioners to the negotiations at Ripon in Yorkshire and his regiment served at the sieges of York and Newcastle and at the battle of Marston Moor (2 July 1644). From late 1644 until January 1647 it remained in England doing garrison duty before being disbanded later that year.
Sir Patrick Hepburn of Waughton died before November 1649.
