Robert Beaton of Creich

Robert's older sister, Janet Beaton married James Crichton of Cranston Riddel, and secondly Simon Preston of Craigmillar Castle.

The Laird of Creich and Alexander Forrester of Torwood were both in Paris in October 1560 and carried letters from the English ambassador Nicholas Throckmorton to William Cecil in London.

[2] Robert Beaton of Creich died in May 1567, after making his will with his wife Jeanne de la Rainville at Falkland Palace.

[4] Her name at that time seems also to be recorded as "Jehanne Gresmor" or "Gresoner", and perhaps adding to confusion, it seems that both mother and daughter were members of the household of Mary of Guise.

The royal wardrobe servant George Steill bound up twelve tapestries with scenes of the History of Aeneas with cords and carried them from Edinburgh to decorate the venue.
