Linked family file DOIGK with spouse ancestry HERE.
First Generation
1. Walter Doig was born about 1365 in Of Kilmadock, Perth, Scotland.
The name Dog, or Doig, is derived from the Celtic "Gille Doc," or servant of Saint Cadoc or Cadog.
Kilmadock Parish in Perthshire was named for churches established there by the Saint, the seat of the
Dog family. The earliest reference to the family is a Dog who fought with Sir Walter Stewart at the battle of
Largs in 1263.
This earliest ancestor is not recorded elsewhere. It is thought he was named for Sir Walter Stewart.
A possible uncle, Alexander Dog or Doge was Vicar of Dunnychtyne (Dunnichen) in 1372. He later held
the position as Precentor or Chanter at Brechin. He died there by 3 May 1393. (REB, I, 20 in George F.
Black, "the Surnames of Scotland," New York: New York Public Library, 1946, page 213; and D.E.R.
Watts, "Fasti, Ecclesiae Scoticanae Medii Aevi at Annum 1638," Edinburgh: Smith & Ritchie, 1969, page
45.)

Thomas was listed 8 Apr 1460 on the faculty of St. Andrews University, as "domini
Thome Dog," or Sir Thomas Dog (FSA). By 1469 he was incorporated with the
University of Glasgow in the rectorship of Master William Arthurle.

A Coat of Arms was held by Sir Thomas Dog, as described by Moray S. Mackay, "
Doune Historical Notes," (Stirling: Forth Naturalist and Historian, 1953), p. 48: "What
has been taken to be the oldest of the [Dog] stones [Old Kilmadock Graveyard], and
the one on which the Christian name Thomas was deciphered fifty or more years ago,
is shaped like a quadrangular coffin lid, the foot being narrower than the head. It shows
a tall cross on a plinth of two steps with leaf-like ornament at the ends of the arms and
at the top. To the viewer's right of the cross there is a long sword, pointing downward,
with the guards of the hilt also pointing down. To the left, there is a dagger, less than
half the length of the sword, with curved guards. The inscription round the edge of the
stone is much worn, and has been the subject of many guesses in the past."
+ 4 M iii. Patrick Doig was born about 1405.

similar Coat of Arms was continued by the Dogs of Ballengrew until the death of James Dog in 1685. The
lands then passed to James' daughter Elizabeth Dog, spouse of Hugh McFarlane of Keithtoune. A Coat
of Arms of the same derivation was used by the Dogs of Dunrobin and Gartincaber for about the same

within our lordship of Menteith," and the same date another "to our lovittis Walter Dog, (and) Andrew Doin
our officiaris in that part." [The Mair of Fee was an hereditary officer under the Crown, whose power
seems to have been similar to a Sheriff-substitute who hears legal cases.] On 24 Oct 1535 a charter of
King James V confirmed a charter to Walter for the lands of Murdostoune, Ballengrew, Spittaltoun, and
Ballandornok (PS). In 1541 Walter was an officer and sergeant of the lordship [Baronia de Cessintully]

On 17 Jan 1564 Walter, and his sons Alexander, John and Archibald were concerned in the case of the
slaughter of Dionis Doge (CD). Dionis is presumed the son of Walter.

James Morrison. The contract is to assign damages and to avoid a feud.

"... the fortifications had not been made effective, for the invaders were several times invested in Broughty
and interrupted in their possission of Dundee. In April [1548] the Bishop of Dunkeld with a considerable
force attacked the Castle. In June, the place was bombarded by the French galleys which brought to
Scotland a considerable Levy of French and German auxilliaries; and subsequently, it was besieged and
unsuccessfully assaulted by a force under John Charteris of Kinfauns. Toward the end of October the
English, then having few enemies to resist them, again assailed the entered the town both by sea and
land with a considerable body of troops; their intention being to complete the defences so as to enable
them to hold it. The contingent which landed from the ships was vigorously but ineffectively opposed by a
bank of inhabitants led by Captain James Dog, a burgess who afterwards for a shor time, filled the office
of Provost. The other forces which came by land from Broughty, 'being betwix sixteen and seventeen
hundred lances, both foot and horse,' met with no considerable opposition."
"Shortly after the English left the Tay, Captain James Dog, who had led a band of burghers against the
enemy at the last occupation of the town, assumed the position of Provost, and held it until September
[1551], when the policy and order of the burgh was re-establishe by the election of a regular Council.
James Haliburton, tutor of Pitcur, was placed at the head of it, and occupied the office of Provost with so
much acceptance that he was continuously appointed thereto for thirty-four years, except during 1555-6,
when he was superseded for rebellion." [Maxwell, Alexander, "Old Dundee, Ecclesiastical, Burghal, and
Social, Prior to the Reformation" (Edinburgh: David Douglas, 1891), page 110, 114.]
"Now at the beginning of November 1548, Dundee was assaulted by troops landed from the ships and
supported by Luttrell's force from the forts. The town was taken, but when the english had fallen to
plundering, James Dog, at the head of a number of townsmen, attacked them, killing thirty of the English,
amoung whom was Luttrell's brother, and drove them out of the city. Next day, a stronger force being
landed, the town was recaptured. [Malcolm, J., "The Parish of Monifieth" (Edinburgh: Green & Sons, 1910)
, page 46.]
"On Wednesday last the ships lying in the Tay landed some men, and with aid from Sir John Luttrell
entered Dundee, expulsing the townsmen. The soldiers fell to spoil, and Jame Dog with his band and
some countrymen, fell on them scattered, drove them out, and slew 30, one Sir John Luttrell's brother.
Yesterday morning more ships arrived, landed men, and retook the town, and keep it with the fort on the
hill above, where Jame Dog and his men lay, and some say he and most of his men are slain or taken."

Stewart of Doun, because they had not found surety to compear before the Justice at the tolbooth of
Edinburgh. Apart from listing Paul Dog of Dunrobin, this gift also listed Archibald Dog son of the
deceased Walter Dog of Ballingrew. But only 3 days later on 13 Apr 1576 (no.563 pc6) they were given a
respite of 3 months. This list is slightly different, because it mentions another Dog connected with
Ballingrew, namely James Dog son of Alexander Dog of Ballingrew, and Archibald Dog son of Walter Dog
in Ballingrew. The year of the killings is also given, being 1575.
On 7 Apr 1590 Paul wrote a Charter for certain lands in favor of Dorothy Cunnynghame, lawful daughter

From the General Service of 1710, we know that Elizabeth Dog's grandfather was David Dog, who was
therefore Paul Dog's father. David was served heir to his father, in a special service, to the lands of
Ballengrew and Mackreistone, dated 6th March 1634. On the Jury were 2 Dogs, James of Gartincaber
and Paul of Cessintullie, who being sworn, declared that the late James Dog of Ballengrew father of
David Dog now of Ballengrew bearer of these presents, died last vest and seised as of fee at peace and
faith of the late Sovereign Lord the King James 6th ...in all and whole the lands of Ballingrew with
pertinents extending to 50/- land of old extent lying in the Stewartry of Menteith and sheriffdom of Perth
and the 20/- land of Mackriestone with pertinents belonging hereditarily to William Muschet of Spitteltoun
lying as above and that the said David Dog is the lawful and nearer heir of the said late James Dog his
father ... and that he is of lawful age. Then it goes on about the valuation of both lands now and the feu
duty which is payable to the King each year at the two terms Pentecost and St Martins, as the feudal
superior. On the entry of the heir the feu duty and augmentation were to be doubled. Finally it ends up
by saying that these lands had been in the King's hands and his father’s (ie the King's father), by reason
of nonentry, since the death of the late James Dog who died in April 1621 [1620], and that was for a
space of about 13 years. [Chancery C22/13/204]

therefore Paul Dog's father. David was served heir to his father, in a special service, to the lands of
Ballengrew and Mackreistone, dated 6th March 1634. On the Jury were 2 Dogs, James of Gartincaber
and Paul of Cessintullie, who being sworn, declared that the late James Dog of Ballengrew father of
David Dog now of Ballengrew bearer of these presents, died last vest and seised as of fee at peace and
faith of the late Sovereign Lord the King James 6th ...in all and whole the lands of Ballingrew with
pertinents extending to 50/- land of old extent lying in the Stewartry of Menteith and sheriffdom of Perth
and the 20/- land of Mackriestone with pertinents belonging hereditarily to William Muschet of Spitteltoun
lying as above and that the said David Dog is the lawful and nearer heir of the said late James Dog his
father ... and that he is of lawful age. Then it goes on about the valuation of both lands now and the feu
duty which is payable to the King each year at the two terms Pentecost and St Martins, as the feudal
superior. On the entry of the heir the feu duty and augmentation were to be doubled. Finally it ends up
by saying that these lands had been in the King's hands and his father’s (ie the King's father), by reason
of nonentry, since the death of the late James Dog who died in April 1621 [1620], and that was for a
space of about 13 years. [Chancery C22/13/204]

[Resignation William Don wryter to Elizabeth Doig - General Register of Sasines RS3/101/plll]
It was registered 14 th January 1712, and enacted on 28th December 1711, when the following people
gathered in the dwelling house of Mistress Kennedy vintner in Edinburgh, being Elizabeth Dog only lawfull
daughter to the deceased Paul Dog of Ballengrew and now spouse of Hugh MacFarlane of Kirktoune
superior of the annual rent underwritten and James Bogle wrytter in Edinburgh, procurator for William Don
wryter in Edinburgh, of a discharge, granted by William Don to David Dog of Ballengrew dated 25th
December 1701. In the discharge, the said James Bogle resigned and delivered back an annual rent of
£60 Scots corresponding to the principal sum of £1000 Scots contained in ane heritable bond granted by
the said late Paul Doig of Ballengrew as principall and the deceast John Stirling of Kypendie and John
Drummond of Deanstoune, to John Finlayson elder in Castlehill in lyferent and to John, William and
Margaret Finlayson his lawful children etc, dated 26 August 1672. This annual rent of £60, was to be
uplifted twice a year, Candlemas and Lambas from the lands of Ballingrew, Gartincaber miln and
Cessintullie.
This principall sum of £1000 Scots must have been paid back at some time, for the sasine states that this
annual rent was disponed by John Finlayson younger and by Margaret Finlayson, with the consent of her
husband, James Patersone younger portioner of Corntoune, by their disposition and assignation dated
13th May 1697, and by the said William Finlayson, for his third part in a disposition and assignation dated
30th December 1697, into the hands of the said Elizabeth Dog, immediate superior of the land and
annual rent there to remain for ever. This was done by deliverance made by the said James Bogle
procurator forsaid, of the staff and baton as use is into the hands of the said Elizabeth Dog, these things
were done in the presence of two witnesses.
So this was the end of a loan of £1000 Scots to Paul Doig of Ballengrew the security for which or the
interest for which, was an annual rent of £60 a year from the lands of Ballengrew etc. This was now paid
back, so the annual rent had to be discharged formerly and resigned into the hands of the superior of the
lands, who was now Elizabeth Doig. This resignation was acted out with the giving up of the staff and
baton into the hands of the feudal superior.

Deeds, Duries Office, Vol. 118.]
The lack of recorded children between the marriage by 1697 and only recorded child John in 1709 may
be because Walter was abroad. Deuchar lists a son John born in 1695 and a child W born in 1697,

John farmed in Burne Cessintully (Burnside of Murdieston), Kilmadock.
There are no entries in the Kilmadock parish record from May 1652 to May 1668 to record his first
marriage or children. His first wife's testament (see Elizabeth Miller notes) names him as husband and

John married (1) Elizabeth Miller . Elizabeth was born about 1640 in Of Kilmadock, Perth, Scotland. She died in Apr 1669 in Murdieston, Kilmadock, Perth, Scotland.
There were no birth entries in the Kilmadock parish register from June 1638 to Sept 1641 and May 1652
to May 1668, and no marriage entries for a greater period, which accounts for this missing family in the
records.
Elizabeth's testament dative (no will) was recorded 15 July 1669 in the Dunblane Commissary Court. She
is listed as the spouse of John Dog in Murdiestoune with lawful sons James Dog and John Dog.
