• Notes

  eldest son was educated at the university of Edinburgh, under the eye of his father, and took his degree of master of arts on 30th July 1597. He afterwards studied the civil law for two years at Poitiers, and on his return to his native country was admitted an advocate, 11th June 1600. He was knighted and appointed a lord of session sometime between the 24th February 1604 and 19th June 1605. He sat as a lord of session under the title of Lord Wrightshouses, while his father was still a pleader at the bar. The judges at that time wore their hats on the bench, but, "whenever," says Mr. Tytler, "his father appeared before him, Sir Lewis, as became a pious son, uncovered, and listened to his parent with the utmost reverence." [Life by Mr. P.F. Tytler.]
