| Notes |
- This is suggested by a later letter of 1307-8 from Robert de Keith in Norman French to an unknown addressee which again mentions the Crawford heiresses whose marriages, he points out, were bought by him from King John Balliol and confirmed by King Edward, Sir Neil Campbell and Sir Donald Campbell being distrained to produce them. The girls' names were Susan and Alyse and their lands were those of Loudoun, Loncmertenan and Stenstoun in the county of Ayr and Draffan in the county of Lanark. But as we have already seen, this was too late; Sir Neil would seem to have married the younger girl while Susannah the elder had been married to Duncan, Sir Donald's eldest son and heir. Thus was founded the great Campbell House of Loudoun in Ayrshire, whose heads bore for arms the Campbell gyronny in Susannah's Crawford colours of ermine and red.
