In 1361 Sir Hugh de Eglinton was justiciary of Lothian and in 1377 he was one of the commissioners to negociate a treaty with England. After his marriage to Egidia, his brother-in-law, King Robert II granted him lands in Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and mid Lothian. His daughter Elizabeth was his sole heiress and upon her marriage to Sir John Montgomery, Sir John obtained the baronies of Eglinton and Ardrossan and the rest of the large possessions of the Eglinton family. Because of this marriage Sir John quartered the arms of Eglinton with his own.
