• Notes

  Records of Archibald are shown in a deed dated 1462 in the Charter Chest of the Earl of Eglinton: this details the marriage of Archibald to Margaret Kerr on 14 June 1462. This deed concerns land transfers. In addition the following extract from the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland 1488: (Translated). Account of Robert Chamberlaine of Bute: . . . and he charges himself with 30 shillings being the rent of the land of Almolach (The Holy Island which is close to Arran and was also Hunter Land) and for the office of Forester of Arran and with 30 shillings and 3 chalders of oats and two silver pennies being for payment of the BLENCH FERME due to the King by John Hunter. This excerpt shows that the Hunters of Hunterston were, in the 15th Century the Kings foresters in Cumbrae and the Island of Arran. Blench Duty or Blench Feu was a fee paid on demand. This was a nominal sum (one silver penny) payable to the King, usually as rent for land granted by the Crown. It was not a regular payment. http://www.virtualhunterston.eu.org/lairds.htm
