Haliburton

"The castle and lands of Dirleton passed to the Borders family of Haliburton (or
Halyburton) when John Haliburton (d.1355) married the heiress of the de Vaux family,
shortly before 1350. The castle had been repaired by 1363, when it was seized by William
Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas,[7] during his brief rebellion against King David II,[4]
although it was later returned to the Haliburtons. In the 1420s, Sir Walter Haliburton (d.
before 1447) acted as a hostage in exchange for the release of King James I, who had
been held captive by the English since 1406.[7] He was rewarded in 1439 by being
appointed Treasurer of Scotland.[9] Either Walter, or his eldest son John (d. before
1454),[10] was ennobled as a Lord of Parliament in the 1440s, with the title Lord
Dirletoun. The Haliburtons carried out extensive works at Dirleton, heightening the original
towers, and constructing a new gatehouse to the south-east. A large hall and tower house
were added to the castle in the 15th century, forming the east range.[7] King James IV
visited Dirleton in 1505, and gave money to the masons then engaged on works in the
north-east part of the castle.[7][4] Later that year, Patrick, the last Haliburton of Dirleton,
died, and his estates were divided among his three daughters.[11]"

Jean HALIBURTON
"Lord of Roslin, Earl of Orkney; m. Jean Haliburton; father of Henry Sinclair, 2nd Earl of
Orkney. [Magna Charta Sureties, p. 46]
BURR LINE

1st Earl of Orkney and Lord of Shetland; on 2 Aug 1379 he was formally invested by
Haakon, King of Norway, as Jarl of the Orkneys and ranked next to the Royal House
before all the Scandinavian nobility. As Admiral he discovered Greenland, lived in much
state at Roslin, and was killed in battle in Orkney 1404. He m. Jean, dau. of Sir William
Haliburton of Dirleton, and was succeeded by his son,
Henry, 2nd Earl of Orkney. [Burke's, p. 447]

Said to have sailed to Nova Scotia and Massachusetts in 1398, almost a century before
Columbus. The evidence for this lies both in the folklore of the Micmac Indians and in
carvings of maize, then unknown in Europe, surrounding a window in Rosslyn Chapel.
[Rosslyn Chapel, SCOTTISH LIFE, Summer 1998, p. 59]

Became Earl of Orkney through his mother, Isabel. Henry conquered the Faroe Islands
in 1391 and discovered Greenland. He is now believed to have voyaged as far as the
Americas, possibly landing in both Nova Scotia and Massachusetts. [Clans & Tartans,
p. 272]

Ninety years before Christopher Columbus 'discovered' America, Scottish explorer Sir
Henry St. Clair set foot on American soil. Together with his Italian captain and navigator,
Antonio Zeno, and a party of 200 Templars, St. Clair first landed at Prince Edward
Island, Nova Scotia, and what is now
Massachusetts in 1398. During his visit he established a peaceful relationship with the
indigenous people, the Micmacs, who record St. Clair's visit in their tribal legends. A
stone carving in the town Westford is said to have been made as a memorial to Sir
Henry and his companions.
Henry, who lived from c. 1345 to c. 1400, was a Scottish noble, known as 'Henry the
Holy' because of his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He held the island of Orkney from the
King of Norway, acting as an independent king of the region including Orkney, Shetland,
and Faroe. Not content with these accomplishments, he built a fleet of ships larger than
the navy of Norway and set sail to
discover new lands across the sea. ["600th Anniversary of Henry St. Clair", BRITISH
HERITAGE, Aug/Sept. 1998, p. 14-15]

It is probable that Donald Dubh was the leader of a confederation of tribes including
MacMartins, Macgillonies and MacSorlies, although others suggest that the Camerons
were descended from a family which flourished in Fife (Sir John de Cambrun signed
the Declaration of Independence in 1320) or from a sister of Banquo, or even from the
Kings of Denmark. [Collins Encyclopedia of Scotland, p. 125]
