• Notes

  s/o David HOME & Mariota JOHNSTONE —— He was born at Elphinstone Castle, educated at Dunbar Grammar School, and joined the household of Regent Morton. After the political fall of Regent Morton, George Home was imprisoned for six months to punish him for supporting the Morton government.  He was also imprisoned in Doune Castle after the 'Raid of Stirling' in 1584. Later, he was Warden of the East Marches, Comptroller of the Scottish Exchequer from 1597 to 1597, and Master of the Royal Household. George was unable to make ends meet for James VI and Anne of Denmark but was given a refund after he lost the job. His leisure interests included hawking and falconry and he built a new house called "Handaxewood" in the Lammermuirs. [1]
