"Mr. James Skene of Westercorse and Ramore, the eldest son, succeeded his father, who, before he went to the battle of Pinkie, transferred his estate to his son, as appears from a crown charter of confirmation, 'Magistro Jacobo Skeyne filio Jacobi Skeyne in Bandodil super cartam sibi factam per dictum Jacobum Skeyne in Bandodil de data 26 Februarij, 1547, de toto et integro annuali feodo triginta quinque Mercarum &c. de terris de Westercorss et Norham necnon superioritate dictarum terrarum.'

He afterwards acquired the lands of Ramore, in Kincardineshire, and Mr. James Skene of Ramore is witness to a crown charter on 1 3th December, 1578. [....]
