who all died. It is doubtful if the statement is correct, 

 but emerging from troublous times it seems certain that the 

 lands passed, by the marriage of one of the daughters of 

 Sir Patrick, into the hands of the Logans of R-estalrig. 



There is a summons at the instance of Agnes Gray, widow 

 of Sir Robert Logan of R-estalrig and wife of Alexander, 

 Lord Home ; and Robert Logan of Restalrig, her son, relating 

 to the teinds of the lands of Fast Castle known as West 

 Lumsden, and the teind fish of the boats of Eyemouth, which 

 they claimed had been leased to them by the Commendator 

 of the Convent of Coldingham, and which summons was 

 signetted on 16th February 1570-1 against Alexander Home 

 of Manderston and his son and heir, who claimed to be 

 Chamberlain of the Abbey under order of the Regent 

 Murray.'^-' 



While the widow of Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig married 

 Alexander, Lord Home, the son of the second Sir Robert, 

 married Elizabeth Home, a relative or distant cousin of Lord 

 Home. The two families were * therefore doubly connected. 

 On 18th October 1568 James Heriot of Trabrown was in 

 custody in Fast Castle under Lord Home, on command of the 

 Regent.*'*^ This explains the statement in Cardonnell that in 

 1570 Fast Castle was occupied by Lord Home, and captured 

 by Sir Wm. Durie with 2000 men. 



Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig died in September 1561, 

 and Robert Logan of Restalrig, his son, was served heir to 

 him on 12th April 1576,f'i though in the AVedderburn MSS. 

 it is stated to have been on . . . April 1577.'^'- For some 

 years thereafter Charters and Dispositions are extant granted 

 by him in connection with various holdings. On 13th May 

 1580 the King gave John Lumisdene of Blanerne these lands, 

 in connection with a decree for £3380 Scots obtained by him 

 against Robert Logan of Restalrig on 20th March L557, for 

 taking the tiend sheaves of certain lands in Horndean for
