    Notes:

    James Shaw, when Governor of Stirling Castle, was bribed by the King's enemies to refuse Sir Archibald Edmonstone, 3rd of Duntreath, (his daughter, Janet's father) entrance to the castle before the disastrous battle of Sauchie in which he was killed.

    See *Scots Peerage*, vol. III [1906], pp. 468-470. Sir James Shaw of
    Sauchie married Christian, daughter of Sir David Bruce of Clackmannan, but that Sir David was a *grandson* of the Sir David Bruce of Clackmannan who married Jean Stewart of Lorn. Christian's mother was Mariota, daughter of John Herries of Terreglas, and she (Christian) appears to have been born in the 1470s, meaning that she married a later Sir James Shaw than the one who was the father of Janet, wife of Sir Alexander Edmonstone of Duntreath.

    I wonder if SP is in error about which Sir David Bruce
    of Clackmannan was the father-in-law of which Sir James Shaw of
    Sauchie. A Genealogical Tree of the Family of Buchanan of that Ilk
    (written in Latin, dated 1602, but based upon earlier documents) was
    published by John Guthrie Smith, F. S. A. Scot, in "Strathendrick and
    Its Inhabitants from Early Times: An Account of the Parishes of
    Kintry, Balfron, Killearn, Drymen, Buchanan, and Kilmaronock,"
    (Glasgow: James MacLehose and Sons, Publishers to the University,
    1896). That tree shows Sir Alexander Edmonstone of Duntreath [born
    about 1455] married Janet Shaw, daughter of Sir James Shaw of Sauchie and his wife, daughter of Bruce of Clackmannan. The tree contains errors regarding parents of spouses farther from the central trunk of the tree, so it may be in error here as well. But, the tree raises
    enough doubt about the SP entry to warrant further research.

    Sauchie Tower was built circa 1430 - 1440 by Sir James Shaw. Shaw came to the Sauchie area from Greenock to marry Mary de Annand, who was a co-heiress of Sauchie.
