<p> I ran across this reference in wikipedia so ...... William Blackadder was among the supporters of Mary, Queen of Scots at the Battle of Carberry Hill (15 June 1567). He was arrested soon after and hanged in June, and his brother was hanged in September.The last Blackadder to own Tulliallan was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sir John, born in 1596 and on 18 July 1626 created a knight baronet of Nova Scotia by King Charles I of England.</span> His estate, with lime works, salt pans and other enterprises, yielded an income of 36,000 merks annually, but this was not enough to satisfy Sir John's expensive habits and he ran up debts far beyond his ability to pay. When his effects were seized he fled to the continent, and in 1642 seems to have been in the French service. He died in America in 1651. Sir John's wife, Elizabeth Graham, was the daughter of the Earl of Menteith. She had an annuity of 360 merks, and lived at Tulliallan until 1662. His son, Alexander, could not free the estate from the burden of debts that his father had contracted. The Court of Session ordered a judicial sale. In 1700 the estate was purchased by Colonel John Erskine, son of David Erskine, 4th Lord Cardross. The celebrated <strong>covenanting preacher John Blackadder (1622-1685) was legally the heir to the Blackadder baronetcy, but did not claim the title. </strong></p>

<p><strong>This appears to possibly be the same John Blackadder who wrote the narrative above .</strong></p> tag:douglashistory.ning.com,2018-11-23:3482022:Comment:903932018-11-23T16:29:43.821ZRussell Lynn Drysdalehttps://douglashistory.ning.com/profile/RussellLynnDrysdale

<p>One of the features in the Lomond Hills is John Knox's Pulpit, so named because it is believed to be a spot where Covenanters held conventicles in the 17th century.</p>
<p>Falkland is a small picturesque town situated at the north foot of the East Lomond Hill, where the Covenanter Hotel is located.</p>
