Found in 14 Collections and/or Records:
Back Bond by George Lundie, junior, son and heir of the late George Lundy of Breryhill, to Isobell Hepburn, lady Pitfirrane, not to redeem the lands of Over Grange till she is paid arrears of interest, etc., 26 June 1592.
The charter and legal material contained here is of importance as giving the continuous history of a landed family in Fife from the 13th to the 18th century. The Halkett family appear to have risen partly on the decline of the Lochores of Lochore. By 1431, the former are having transumpts made of charters of the early 13th century granted to the latter (Ch.6018-6019).
