Andrew Stewart, 2nd Lord Avondale

He exchanged his lands at East Wemyss (which came from his wife or father) with Ochiltree, which belonged to the Comptroller, James Colville.

When James V first assumed power by escaping from the Douglas family and joining his mother at Stirling Castle, Avondale was one of eight lords and earls who came to advise them.

[4] The English physician Andrew Boorde visited Scotland in 1536 and wrote that he frequented the house of the Earl of Arran and Lord Avondale.

[5] A 'Lord Ochiltree,' probably Andrew, sat on the trial that condemned Janet Douglas, Lady Glamis for treason on 8 July 1537.

[8] Andrew's brother was created Henry Stewart, 1st Lord Methven on his marriage to the King's mother Margaret Tudor.
