| He succeeded his father, and, at Cupar in Fife, 11 May 1423, got a charter of the lands of Leucheld in Fife from Sir William Lindsay of Rossy. He was knighted at the coronation of King James I; and at Perth 17 October 1425 got a charter of Pitreavie. He purchased the ancient Barony of Rosyth in Fife from several proprietors, and was thereafter designed as 'of Rosyth,' for in 1436 the king confirmed a charter by which Sir David Stewart of Rosyth granted to Henry Wardlaw, Pitreavie and the third of Fordel. He also purchased Wester Cleish in Fife and Hershaw in Clackmannan.7 | ||
