Biography
Sir William married as his second wife, Margaret, daughter of James de Dunbar of Beil, Haddingtonshire.[1] There were a whole family of Dunbars (decendants of the Earls of Dunbar and March) based at Beil and it is unclear who James is. The term 'of' was often used in a loose fashion by children. MacFarlane, however, writes that Sir Gavin Dunbar's heiress married Douglas of Whittinghame.[2] It seems unlikely that it is Gavin's daughter as he resided at Cumnock in Ayrshire. What seems clear is that she is a Dunbar.
