| He probably appears in 1203-8, and certainly in writs of 1218 and 1219 as a witness to charters by his father. In 1213 he was living in England as a hostage for the King of Scots, being in charge of William d'Aubigny. The latter died in 1215, and Gilbert is later found in Scotland. He received from his father the lands of Glencairnie in Strathspey, which had belonged to his brother Gilchrist, and on 12 September 1232 entered into agreement with Andrew, Bishop of Moray, as to these lands. He was knighted, and adopted the name of his estate as a surname. The name of his wife is not known, but he had issue a son Gilbert, and the family ended in an heiress, Matilda of Glencairnie, who was the mother, about 1413, of Duncan Grant of Freuchie, ancestor of the Grants, Earls of Seafield.3 | ||
