| He had a charter under the Great Seal on the 24 March 1575, of the 12 merk lands of Voisgarth in the parish of St John of Bailyesta, in the Isle of Unst, confirming a charter granted to him by Mr Francis Bothwell, Treasurer of Orkney, and Vicar of Unst, on 12 November, 1572. He had previously had a grant of these lands, on 1 April 1568, to himself and Agnes Mowat, his spouse, from Adam, Bishop of Orkney. On 5 November 1577 he complained to the Privy Council that Laurence Bruce of Cultmalindie compelled him to pay umboth duties three months before their proper time, and further had prevented him going on his journey to Bergen in Norway in August, 1577, by compelling him to take him and his goods to Dundee and refusing to pay freight therefore, or for the 24 persons who accompanied him (Cultmalindie) thither.5 | ||
