Individual:
Crawfurd in his lives of the officers of State says, "That the Guthries held the Barony of Guthrie by Charter from King David the II.; but that they were men of rank and property long before the reign of James II., is manifest by the fact that Master Alexander of Guthrie, is a witness, in a charter granted by Alexander Seaton, Lord of Gorden, to William Lord Keith. afterward Earl Marshall, dated Aug. 1, 1442. and that he obtained the lands of Kilkandrum in the Barony of Lower Leslie, and Sheriffdom of Forfar, to himself and Marjory Guthrie, his spouse, by charter from George, Lord Leslie. of Leven, the Superior, dated April 10, 1457. By the above-mentioned Marjory, he had three sons, David, James, and William, of whom the eldest, Sir David Guthrie, Baron of Guthrie, was Sheriff of Forfar in 1457. He held the situation of Armour Bearer to King James III., and was constituted Lord Treasurer of Scotland in 1461; in which post he continued until 1467, when he was appointed Comptroller of the Exchequer."
In 1469 he was made Lord Register of Scotland; and in 1472, we find him one of the embassadors on the part of Scotland, who met those of England on April 25, in that year, at New Castle. and concluded a truce until the month of July, 1473. In 1473 he was constituted Lord Chief Justice of Scotland.--From Burke's History of the Landed Gentry.
