('•) "Exchequer Halls" [S.], vol. viii, preface xlvii, where it is added that "the use of that title [Lord Sinclair] by him and by his grandson [son of his eldest son] in a document of 1487 sufficiently disproves the contention that he had divested himself of it, along with the Earldom of Caithness, and that, when Pari, in H88 declared that the grandson was rightful heir to the dignity belonging to his grand- father and the lands connected with it, it conferred on him a new title of honour. ' It is also stated therein that when the Earl had divested himself of Caithness (iu favour of his yr. son) he is called Biuiply Lord Sinclair, so that the precedency of the original title is that of one granted by James II.
