Clan Maxton

[1] Around 1153, during the reign of David I, Maccus, son of Undwin is thought to have obtained the lands.

The family however are thought to have lost their lands, which passed into the possession of Robert de Berkley in the 12th century.

He may be the same Alexander de Maxton, who was styled "constable of Roxburgh", and the individual who is recorded as submitting to Edward I, king of England, on the Ragman Rolls in 1296.

In around 1410, Robert de Maxton received the lands of Cultoquhey near Crieff in Perthshire.

This man's coat of arms may allude to the earlier Abbot of Melrose, as they bear three crosses.
