[3] Bargany Castle, demolished in the seventeenth century, was on the south side of the Water of Girvan in Dailly parish in Ayrshire.
Bargany helped the Earl of Cassilis in an attempt to gain the lands of Crossraguel Abbey in August 1570.
Bargany employed another lawyer, George Mark, and wrote to Barnbarroch rehearsing his offer to Seton, and hoping he would "both effectuously and secretly" work in his favour.
The incident was regarded as a conflict between the gentlemen of the king's household known as 'cubiculars' and the financial officers called the 'Octavians'.
[7] Two family chronicles mention that Bargany was punished by James VI who arranged a marriage for his son that was to "the wreck of his house".
