About Clan Auchinleck

The Auchinlecks of that Ilk held the barony of Auchinleck in Ayrshire from at least the 13th century. In 1504 it passed by marriage to the Boswells. That year James IV granted the estate to Thomas Boswell, a cadet of the Fife family of Balmuto, who had married a daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Auchinleck of that Ilk; Thomas, a favourite at court, was killed with the king at Flodden in 1513, but his descendants held Auchinleck for centuries afterward
