"As for the Templars they had great interest in this country. They had many houses in Linlithgow but Sandilands Lord Torpichen who was Knight Templar disponed them all to the Town except three. That family Still retains the superiority of them. They are near the Cross and possessed by Baillie Napier Baillie Kennowie and Deacon Laurie" Note.- "What right the Torpichen family had to sell or retain any of these houses is not very apparent as the family had been for more than a century divested of all right to the Superioritys of the temple lands which for onerous causes been sold to the founder of the Haddington family, the illustrious Sir Thomas Hamilton President of the College of Justice."
