John Giffard. of Powgavie, Perthshire. Hugh Giffard of Yester held lands at Powgavie prior to the year 1185. John Giffard of Powgavie is found as the principal in a charter of Coupar Angus Abbey written circa 1210. Probably the John Giffard who witnesses a Lindores charter c. 1195. Although little information has been found concerning this John Giffard, it seems likely that he may have been a younger son of Hugh Giffard.
