Notes:

David Hume (1558-1629) was a Scottish historian and political theorist. He was born at Godscroft, a farming hamlet 2 miles to the north of Abbey St. Bathans , in the Lammermuir Hills , Berwickshire .
A major intellectual figure in Jacobean Scotland, his work, De Unione Insulae Britannicae was published in London in 1605. It is a study in how to effect the closer political union of Scotland and England. With surprising foresight, he suggests a super-national parliament with regional assemblies.
Hume was a partisan panegyricist of the Douglas family. He was a grandson of Alison Douglas, herself a grand-daughter of Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus . His chief patron was William Douglas, 11th Earl of Angus , later the 1st Marquess of Douglas.

Andrew Blackadder, the proprietor of the estate, married a daughter of the house of Johnston of Johnston, ancestor of the earls of Annandale, and had two sons, Robert and Patrick. Robert, the elder son, espoused Alison Douglas, fourth daughter of George, Master of Angus, and sister of Archibald, earl of Angus. He followed the standard of the Douglases at Flodden in 1513, and was slain with his father-in-law and two hundred gentlemen of the name of Douglas, on that disastrous field, leaving a widow and two daughters, Beatrix and Margaret, who, at the time, were mere children.
