History
Rob Gibb (1490–1558) inherited the lands from this father, also called Rob Gibb (sometimes spelled as Gyb), in 1541.[5] The lands subsequently went to John Gibb (c.1550–1628), and then to his son Henry Gibb.[6] It was later passed to the Hays in 1710 and eventually the Blairs of Avonton.[3]
