Arms at Glencorse Old Kirk (2)
The left-hand set of arms on the outer wall of the Laird's Loft as seen in NT2463 : The Glencorse Loft at Glencorse Old Church. The crest appears to be a tree with someone clinging to its branches, and the supporters look like a hound and a falcon.

I thank James Waugh for the following detailed information about the status of these arms:

These are the "arms" of the Bothwell family. Alexander and his son, Henry, claimed rights to these arms but were never given the right to use them as they could not prove their lineage.

Kearney confirms that the two Bothwells found at Glencorse did not have a right to a C of A LinkExternal link LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) Oxford Biography Index entry for Neil Campbell of Ardmaddie. LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) . This site confirms the failure of Henry to get right to C of A “KINSHIP: Son and heir. TITLES: Claimed the title of Lord Holyroodhouse; no determination was ever come to respecting his claim 1734; he however, assumed the title and was generally styled Lord Holyroodhouse.” LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) 2 Sep 1727 Glencorse Churchyard, Glencorse, Midlothian, Scotland. Notes TITLES: Claimed title in 1704 as Lord Holyroodhouse, title created 1607; his claim was not recognised by the Crown. Mary Campbell married Henry Bothwell in 1694 two years after her father’s estate was sold to the Campbells of Breadalbane, who had the right to the Campbell Coat of Arms. This is the Breadalbane C of A at Ardmaddie. A check at Scotland’s people site for a Coat of Arms for Neil Campbell, Alexander Bothwell and Henry Bothwell will prove negative as they did not matriculate a Coat of Arms. Mary Campbell had no right to a C of A: also checked in the Lord Lyon’s collection in Edinburgh.
