( b ) The Barony, even if originally one inheritable by heirs general, appears to have followed the course (tho' not without opposition from the heir of line, Lady Doune), of the Earldom, and to have devolved on the heir male. See, also some remarks, p. 143, note "c " (circa finen), under " Hamilton." ( c ) i.e., " Heir male in general of James, Earl of Home, great great grandson of Alex- ander Lord Home, br. of John Home of Quhitrig, great grandfather of James Homo, of C'oldingknows, Knight, his great grandfather." See Wood's " Douglas," vol. i, p. 738. ( d ) He received a confirmation as " Earl, Lord and Baron of Pari." See vol. ii., p. 397., note " c " sub. " Cramond," as to the use in Scotland of this word •' Baron."
