On January 22, 1707, John Scot and his wife Euphame Gordon, had sasine on Cairnfield, Hillockhead, Peathhead, and Farnachty (Banff Sasines). A member of this family, Rev. John Scott, of Dettinger Parish, Prince William County, Virginia, married in 1768 Elizabeth Gordon of the Kethocksmill family. The Scotts of Dipple are dealt with in Hayden's Virginia Genealogies (pp. 587-668). She died July 12, 1709, being described on her tombstone (Jervise's Epitaphs, ii., 259) as 'filia D. Johannis Gordon de Achynachie'."
