OS1/21/46/35 [page] 35 Parish of Liberton Also written on page - over columns 2-4: The second land-owner is Alexander Chancellor, Esq. of Shieldhill, whose ancestors have been in possession of this estate for the last four centuries, as appears from a charter still extant granted by Thomas, Lord Somerville to Willliam Chancellor of Shieldhill and Quothquan, A.D. 1432. The family residence was originally at Quothquan and remained there till 1567 when the then proprietors wined Queen Mary's party at Hamilton, and engaged in the battle of Langside. After her defeat, a party of 500 Horsemen sent out by Regent Murray to demolish the houses of her adherents burned down, among others the mansion house of Quothquan. After this calamity, the family residence was moved to Shieldhill which appears originally to have been a square tower of no great dimentions but which has at different times been added to and modernized. particularly by the present proprietor.
