    For some time, as a child, James was known as James INNES.
    [ancestry.com]
    Great Britain, Portraits of Illustrious Personages, 1502-1852 Illustrious Personages of Great Britain, with Biographical and Historical Memoirs, Vol. 2 James Douglas, Fourth Earl of Morton.
    "...He was trusted to the care {James} of a trusty person of inferior rank; Assumed the name of INNES; and as he approached manhooh...

    Buried:
    He was executed on the 2nd of June 1581. . His corpse remained on the Scaffold for the following day, until it was taken for burial in a Common grave at Greyfriars Kirkyard. His head however remained on a spike outside the Tolbooth of Edinburgh for eighteen months until it was ordered to be reunited with his body in December 1582.

    Although Morton's final resting place is allegedly marked with a small sandstone post incised only with the initials "J.E.M." for James Earl of Morton, this is simply a Victorian marker for a lair edge, twisted in meaning for convenience. Logically, were a marker allowed (which was not permitted for executed criminals) firstly it would more logically read "J.D.", and secondly it would have been cleared away in 1595 when all stones were removed from Greyfriars.
